This movie came up in conversation this morning, and I stumbled across this faux trailer - no (original) audio unfortunately, but beautiful shots of Stearmans, BT-13s, and T-6s. And Gene Tierney. ;)
It inspired me to finally replace my muddy old VHS copy with a DVD.

Hmm... next year will be the 70th anniversary of the film's release. Fly-In theater, anyone?
I'll be there for that!!:cool:
Hey Hal, you forgot one plane in your list...
Boeing Model 100 - It's the one that dropped the flight suit to the poor towel-less lass. Probably Mantz's N873H, that plane was in a lot of movies of the time.
Oh, there *was* an airplane in that scene, wasn't there...? ;)
Nice flying stunts, but... who's the young beautiful lady?
Hi Giancarlo - her name is Gene Tierney: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000074/Quote:

She was beautiful!
What sort of flippy, floppy spin was that trainer doing?
