Continuity: When Jim is coming in to land after stunting over the Havana airport, we get a good look at the writing and symbols on the right-hand side of his plane.

This is an entertaining film from 1933 with Richard Barthelmess,(Jim Blaine) and his brother, Neil Blaine, (Tom Brown) competing against each other as daredevil fliers and a gal named Jill Collins,(Sally Eilers) who is a parachutist and performs at a great many air shows. There is one scene when there is a plane crash and a rescue through poring rain and fog which involved two adults and a small female girl. The general public were alerted and everyone came to the airport to assist in any way that they could at the runway. There is a sad part to this film concerning love which cannot be fulfilled. This film is a B film and William Wellman did his very best to make this film into another "Wings" success, but it failed greatly.
