BC-375 "surplus" w7kgv 1948
At least two BC-191/375s made it into the movies....
In the classic John Wayne "Island In The Sky", it's the main
transmitter in a transport plane downed in the snowy reaches of
northern Canada during WW2. You also see a BC-348 and a Gibson Girl in
action.
In the original "Manchurian Candidate", during the climactic scenes
where Laurence Harvey goes to the unused spotlight room during the
convention, there's a BC-191/375 used as a prop in the room. No
connection to the story at all. The set dresser probably thought it
looked enough like PA equipment to pass muster.
--
The original "Flight of the Phoenix" shows an ART-13 but it is not
used in the story.
