Curiosidades
Final scenes shot on location at Los Angeles Metropolitan Airport (Van Nuys Airport). These scenes taken on Waterman Drive which is same location as used in Casablanca (1942).

Erros de gravação
The dirigible USS Mason is referred to repeatedly by that name, but the name painted on her envelope is Macon (the name of the real-life Navy dirigible lost at sea in 1935).

Citações
Brass Bancroft: Sabotage?
Saxby: Yes, but we're primarily interested in the body of a hobo that was found dead in the wreckage. He was wearing a money belt containing fifty thousand dollars.
Gabby Watters: [Whistles] A little spending money! He must have been king of the hobos!

Follows Serviço Secreto Aéreo (1939)

President Ronald Reagan has been accused of being a second rate actor, mostly due to his appearance in BEDTIME FOR BONZO. However he actually appeared (albeit in many supporting roles) in respectable, even good films. Early in his career he was earmarked for some type of stardom by the "Brass Bancroft" films.

I have never seen any of these "Brass Bancroft" Secret Agent films made by Reagan in the late 1930s, but this one has always intrigued me. Supposedly the destruction of the Naval Airship Mason is actually based on some footage of the destruction (in 1935) of the last Naval Zeppelin "U.S.S. Macon" which was lost in the Pacific Ocean at Big Sur. I'm not expecting anything along the lines of the film of the Hindenburg Crash, or of the Challenger explosion, but it would be curious to see it.
