Airmail Overview:
Airmail (1932) was a Adventure - Black-and-white Film directed by Ray Taylor and produced by Henry MacRae.
SYNOPSIS
A drama-adventure about pilot Duke Talbot (O'Brien), a brave flyer who also happens to be a world-class show-off. He has an affair with the wife of one of his mail-service mates, and, when the betrayed husband is killed during a violent storm, Duke refuses to take his mail on to the next stage, instead choosing to elope with the newly freed wife. That job is left for MIke, the head of their station, and, along the way, the plane crashes, leaving him in what is considered to be an unlandable area. Duke leaves the lady behind and attempts the impossible.

Facts about
First movie to feature an airplane-flying-through-a-hangar stunt, performed by stunt pilot Paul Mantz.
At the time of the film's production, Universal built a special stage to film miniature scenes. A gantry was constructed above the stage so a model biplane could be 'flown' over a huge miniature set. The stage is still on the Universal lot and is numbered 27. The stage also contains a large water tank. At one time it was known as the John Fulton Stage since when the stage was built, Fulton was in charge of all visual effects for Universal.
