Cute little film for 30's aviation fans. The acting is wooden, dialogue super corny, and the VTOL airplane effects are ridiculous. And like the description says, the continuity with the aircraft is non-existent. And there is plenty of 30's male chauvinism. But I love those old planes. Fun to see Navy aircraft involved in a search of the High Sierras! I guess the miraculous Hospital plane is a Twin Beech. I have no idea what the one our hero crashes is.
