Интересные факты

Flying Blind is a 1941 American action comedy film directed by Frank McDonald and distributed by Paramount Pictures. The film was the second movie from Pine-Thomas Productions. That company's first three films formed an unofficial "aviation trilogy"; all starred Richard Arlen.

Production

Flying Blind was the third film from William Pine and William C. Thomas, former press agents turned movie producers. They wanted to make lower-budgeted action films and teamed with Richard Arlen, who was known for aviation movies and who ran an aviation school. Pine and Thomas selected three titles, Power Dive, Forced Landing and Flying Blind, and wrote scripts around them.

The female lead, Jean Parker, was in Power Dive and would be in many Pine-Thomas Films. Casting was set in May 1941.

Principal photography for Flying Blind took place from mid-June to early July 1941 at the Fine Arts Studios, Hollywood, California, and the Alhambra and Rosemead, California airports.

Stock footage was used of a Boeing 247 and a Douglas DC-3 airliner with other flying scenes using a Lockheed 12A Junior Electra. Various light aircraft, including Arlen's Luscombe, were visible in the airport scenes, while Northrop A-17 bombers are at the military airport.
