Trivia

The plane flown by Cliff in the opening is the Gee Bee racer, specifically Model "Z" from 1931. It was built by the Granville Brothers Aircraft Company (brothers Zantford, Thomas, Robert, Mark, and Edward), hence the plane's initials "G.B." The R-1 was for a time the fastest land-plane in the world, essentially a cockpit, wings, and tail built around an 800 hp Pratt & Whitney Wasp engine. James Doolittle (who would lead the bombing raid over Tokyo in 1942) won the 1932 Thompson Trophy race flying a Gee Bee R-1 at a speed of 252.686 miles per hour. See more »

Goofs

Anachronisms: In the first air show scene (and later in the nightclub), press photographers have 4"x5" Speed Graphic press cameras of a post-war model with the polished aluminum (shiny) lens boards. In 1938 they would have had black painted wooden lens boards. See more »
