Movie (1947)
Italian title : Bagliore a mezzogiorno
French title : Ils étaient quatre frères
Starring:
Anne Baxter (Lucille Stewart)
William Holden (Colin McDonald)
Sonny Tufts (Ronald McDonald)
William Bendix ("Porkie")
Early in the 1920s, the four McDonald brothers are performing in a carnival as a stunt flying team, when they are hired by Mercury Airlines in Newark, New Jersey, to haul the national air mail for the US Air Mail Service.
Despite the action is centered at Newark Metropolitan Airport (today : Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR/KEWR)), the buildings are merely movie sets that bear no resemblance to those of the end of the 1920s or the Art Deco buildings dedicated in 1935.
Douglas DC-3
Douglas DC-3 of United Air Lines.
Another Douglas DC-3 flying near the Sugarloaf Mountain, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil as view from the Corcovado.
Stamp
(top right) A 1941 15 cents red stamp featuring a twin-engined transport plane (a Douglas DC-3 but with the three-tail unit of the Douglas DC-4E prototype. This last one was a four-engined machine).
The same stamp is used too in Welcome to Marwen and USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage.
Unidentified Douglas Airliner
Douglas DC-4 or Douglas DC-6 ? over Washington D.C. ?
Lockheed L-049 Constellation
Lockheed L-049 Constellation of TWA-Trans World Airline.
Airco DH.4
Curtiss D

Reg. NX211 Ryan NYP Spirit of St. Louis.
Same aircraft in other movies at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft (Civil Fixed-Wing).
Unidentified Aircraft
High-wing aircraft :
Travel Air 4000
Curtiss JN-4 Jenny
Maybe the same one in the background ?
Desk Model
@ 0h12, three biplane models :
1 : unidentified biplane;
2 : unidentified biplane;
3 : unidentified biplane.
@ 1h01 :
1 : unidentified monoplane;
2 : unidentified biplane;

Pitcairn PA-7 Sport Mailwing
Two Pitcairn PA-7s were used and not easy to differentiate between them.
Pitcairn PA-7S Sport Mailwing NC54W, c/n 144 and ...
Registration NC95W Pitcairn PA-7M Sport Mailwing c/n 147.
Same aircraft in other movies at Frequently Seen Aircraft (Civil Fixed-Wing).
Both aircraft survived the filming (NC54W -later N54W- was sold in 1974; NC95W was sold in 1968 and eventually entered the Experimental Aircraft Association Inc. collection, Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA). So which one hurt the tank ?
