Dizzy Pilots

Dizzy Pilots (1943)

The Three Stooges, as the Wrong Brothers, aid the war effort by inventing a new plane in this below-average two-reel comedy. Actually, they are attempting to avoid the draft but when their plane, the Buzzard, fails miserably, they march off to war. Richard Fiske, formerly a busy supporting player in Stooges comedies, appears courtesy of stock footage from the earlier Boobs in Arms (1940). Ironically, Fiske had himself been drafted and would be killed in action in France in August of 1944.

Production notes

Dizzy Pilots was filmed April 6–9, 1943. The boot camp segment is stock footage from 1940's Boobs in Arms, with the exception of the ending shot where the Stooges escape from the base itself.

The gag of an aircraft being too large to take out of a hangar was reused in 1972 on The New Scooby-Doo Movies episode featuring the Stooges as guest stars ("The Ghost of the Red Baron").

Dizzy Pilots marks the final appearance of co-star Harry Semels.
