[Milsurplus] Radios in movies

[Brenda Gentry]

I spotted the R-1155 immediately.  One of the worst technical 
inconsistencies was aircraft engines coming to an instant stop with a 
loud "clunk" when they ran out of fuel. In real life, there would be 
sputtering and backfiring followed by the propeller windmilling until it 
was feathered. Despite these things, it was not a bad film.
