Chain Lightning movie poster.

Movie (1950)

Starring:
Humphrey Bogart (Lt. Col. Matthew "Matt" Brennan)
Eleanor Parker (Joan "Jo" Holloway)
Raymond Massey (Leland Willis)
Richard Whorf (Carl Troxell)


Matt, a former B-17 captain, is now instructor in his own flying school. But a student breaks his only plane. Then, he meets Jo, a former WAAF he loved in England in 1944; as secretary of the CEO of the Willis Aircraft Corporation, she gives him the chance to become the test pilot of the newest rocket plane.

Willis JA-3 (fictional aircraft)

Fictionnal rocket plane seen through a model...

or through non flyable mock (built from a P-39).

The undercarriage is clearly this of a P-39.

This fictionnal aircraft has an escape crew capsule, something rarely seen in aviation (and never at the time of the movie).

Ejection seen during a test in the wind tunnel.

North American F-86 Sabre

Seen from the soil and playing the flying JA-3.
