James Stanton is a young brilliant surgeon. He spent his free time flying despite his father's dislike this. One stormy night, he crashed killing his passenger, the wife of another doctor. Headlines and professional council banned him as like as did his bride Barbara. Going west, he's now a tramp and is working on a road when an old friend crosses his way. This pilot wants to help James and is able to persue CEO of the Air Company to enlisted his friend as a mechanic. But this company hides a beautiful nurse who will quickly changed his life.

Stinson SR-8 (or 9 or 10) Reliant

The plane used by James when he's flying by night in a terrible storm ... and crah lands.

The registration (NC326 ? or every NC32?) doesn't match with such airplane.

Same aircraft in other movies at Frequently Seen Aircraft (Civil Fixed-Wing).

Lockheed 10A Electra & Ford Trimotor 4AT

Various aircraft

Acting as Air ambulance ...

Without seat, the cabin seems wide but just for a stretcher and a jump seat.

Well, at the end, two surgeons and three nurses are doing a surgery ! this would be more realistic inside a Douglas...

We see only the tail of NC300, the single airframe built.
