Production
The aircraft used in Border Flight included Stearman C3R, Curtiss Fledgling c / n 69, NC465K and a Lockheed Vega 5C c / n 171, NC965Y. Principal photography took place at Burbank's United Air Terminal, where Paul Mantz's company, United Air Services, was based.
Filming started February 1936. It lasted four weeks. Although not listed in the credits, Mantz and Frank Clarke, his collaborator and competitor, did the flying in Border Flight.
Robert Cummings was a gifted pilot, having had his first flights in 1927 as a teenager. Flying both privately and as a commercial pilot, Cummings enrolled at Carnegie Tech in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for courses in mechanical engineering with the goal of a degree in aeronautics. The 1929 Wall Street Crash ended that effort, but he continued to fly throughout his life.
