Production

"Tailspin Tommy" is listed above the title, Mystery Plane. The opening credits include the following onscreen forward: [The film is a] "tribute to those adventurers who pioneered the American Air Force, the war birds of the World War. Recruited from every walk of life, they wrote a glorious page in aviation history. Being young, many of them were unable to adjust themselves to the peace time routine after their glorious freedom.

In Hal Erickson's review for Allmovie.com, he describes, "In a charming fadeout bit, the main characters—Tommy, Skeeter and girlfriend Betty Lou (Marjorie Reynolds)—come 'out' of the picture to invite their fans to watch the next 'Tailspin Tommy' entry."
