After Jake Grafton (Brad Johnson) and Virgil Cole
(Willem Dafoe) bomb the missile park in the middle of Hanoi, they return to their ship. Commander Camparelli (Danny Glover), the squadron commander, brings them to his stateroom to discipline them for disobeying orders. When he reaches over to play the tape recording of the news coverage of their bombing, look on the table in the background. There is a book standing upright on the table that is titled "Aircraft Carriers of the World". The problem with this is that the movie takes place in 1972, the first edition of the book was not published until 1984. Very, very few people will notice this, I did because I have both the book and the movie and am very familiar with both.
