This film shows via a entertaining story how different air travel may have been if the dirigible had not had the terrible Hindenburg disaster, which was about 4 years after this movie was shot, and when trying to land in the same area as the hanger shown in the movie. Only recently it was found that the real problem with the Hindenburg apparently was individual panels not been grounded, and a fabric covering that was extremely flammable - a dangerous mistake.
It is fascinating to see the Navy equipment of 1931, the dirigible shown is real. These machines may have been much more fuel efficient than airplanes, and perhaps better suited for many trips -
And or course, Fay Wray is a great actress as usual, as is the rest of the cast.
