	For the filming, the small graphic worn between the engine and the arrow's head was removed and the registration changed into NX704. Sometimes later, NC7044 went into storage and Loren L. Miles was killed in action during World War Two. On August 17, 1945, NC7044 came out of storage and was sold to a pilot who had an accident with it before the end of the year. Repaired, it was sold (4 times until 1949). It was then used for 3 years by the same midwestern owner who changed its engine and based it for the first time outside the west coast. Last record flight in 1952 (?) when it was sold for 300 US dollars and laid derelic (the engine was quickly unassembled and sold). As of March 15, 1955 it was reported “permanently retired from service”. Ultimate fate precisely unknown.

			== Potez 28/2 ==
			Only two Potez 28 were built in two variants, both designed for record breaking. Manned by the Arrachart brothers (Captain Ludovic and Paul), the Potez 28/2 (Potez GR.28 as read in the newpapers of the time) beat the straight-line distance record by covering 4.313 kimometres from Le Bourget (France) to Basra (Iraq) on June 26 and 27, 1926 (2,680 mi in 26 hours 30 min).<br>
			The newspaper's title is slighty wrong... but the picture is the good one.

			First seen as a desk model :
			[[Image:MenWithWings_11335.jpg\|thumb\|500px\|none\|]]
			Reg. NC7044 Lockheed Vega Model 1 (c/n 11) delivered on July 31, 1928. First owned by Maddux Airlines which sold it on March 1930. On December 4, 1935, its sixth buyer was Loren L. Miles who christened the plane <i>Miss Patricia</i> then <i>Miss Patsy</i>.<br>
			For the filming, the small graphic worn between the engine and the arrow's head was removed and the registration changed into NX704. Sometimes later, NC7044 went into storage and Loren L. Miles was killed in action during World War Two. On August 17, 1945, NC7044 came out of storage and was sold to a pilot who had an accident with it before the end of the year. Repaired, it was sold (4 times until 1949). It was then used for 3 years by the same midwestern owner who changed its engine and based it for the first time outside the west coast. Last record flight in 1952 (?) when it was sold for 300 US $ and laid derelic (the engine was quickly unassembled and sold). As of March 15, 1955 it was reported “permanently retired from service”. Ultimate fate precisely unknown.
