Tonie Carter: Oh, I know. Every flier's married to his plane.

Tonie Carter: Dad always used to say, when you're safe... you're dead.

Obviously cynics would not like it., 19 January 2001
Author: (curatorfilm@webtv.net) from Chicago

This film is influenced by the patriotism during the great struggle of The Second World War. It is accurate in depicting the spirit of the great Emelia Earhart. A film made today might choose to focus on other aspects but that is more an indication of the difference in attitudes from the 40s to now. This is an interesting film for youngsters and adults.
