The plane at the beginning of the film flying to Catalina is a Douglas Dolphin 114, registration NC14204. It was one of four airplanes in the Wilmington-Catalina Airlines fleet at the time. It was handed over to the Army in September 1942 and subsequently shipped to Australia. On July 29, 1943 it crashed at Rose Bay, NSW, Australia and was stripped for parts. Only 58 of all variants of the Dolphin were made. The plane was also used in Living on Velvet (1935). Another Dolphin, registration NC967Y is seen at the seaplane ramp on Santa Catalina Island when the group first arrives. That plane was also in Nebbia a San Francisco (1934).
