Factual error: The film depicts the bombing of Hiroshima, and Colonel Paul Tibbets, commander of the Enola Gay, radioing Washington, DC, requesting permission to drop the bomb. This is inaccurate. To avoid detection, the atomic bomb missions maintained strict radio silence. Colonel Tibbets had permission to drop the weapon from the moment they took off. Not to mention the fact that a radio transmission would never reach the other side of the planet.
