Subject: tiptoe top gun
After Clark Gable, Myrna Loy and Spencer Tracy in "Test Pilot" (1938), everything else in this genre is a crack at second best. This one's refreshing in being mostly civilian, a great snapshot of prewar Glendale, CA airport, with many Golden Age classic planes all around, and "starring" two really obscure birds, one of which I never knew of before.
Pretty obscure is the "Transcontinental Record" ship, which is actually the Phillips "Aeroneer." The
idea that one of these (or any plane then extant) could fly coast-to-coast in 7 hours 12 min. is wildly off-the-wall. Truly arcane is the plastic basketweave airplane (I thought it was Hollywood hokum,) which turns out to be the Player CT-6A, real as described. This movie delivers on being interesting without flash, explosions, jerkyjingo or new lows of sappiness. This is a better movie than Top Gun.

A simple enough plot: ace test pilot does not want adoring kid brother to follow in his footsteps but to do something less dangerous. Kid brother has other ideas. Brothers compete for same girl.

Some nice comedic touches along the way and the stock aerial footage is well integrated with the studio cockpit shots. It passed a pleasant hour or so.
