Wissenswertes
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).

Patzer
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).

Zitate
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!

Decent Time Killer

Murder in the Air (1940)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

Fourth and final film in Warner's Brass Bancroft series with Ronald Reagan in the lead. This time out enemy agents are destroying various sites and now they have their eyes on destroying the entire country. Reagan goes undercover and gets inside the gang to try and stop them before more damage is done. This is probably the second best in the series (behind the third film) and fans of "B" movies will certainly have enough here to keep them entertained. The film, running just 55-minutes, makes for some nice entertainment because it throws pretty much everything in except for the kitchen sink but then again that might have ended up on the cutting room floor. The entire movie goes at a very fast pace and it leads up to a very good ending set on a Dirigible, which of course has to crash into the ocean. I wish this sequence would have gone on longer but what's here is nice. Reagan is very comfortable in the role and manages to turn in his best performance of the series. His tough act is a lot more believable here than in the previous three films and Eddie Foy, Jr. is back for comic relief. John Litel and James Stephenson co-star.
