One of the glaring errors in that otherwise excellent film.
The term used at the time was RDF. RADAR acronym did not come into usage until the US joined the fray. But I suppose non-nerds viewing would not understand the use of the correct term.
(Nerd wasn't a word at the time of release either!)


I drive my wife mad pointing out historical errors in films and on TV.
