Facts about

"Pig Foot Pete", performed by Martha Raye in the film, was a 1942 Academy Award nominee for Best Song. However, on the ballots the song was attributed to Hellzapoppin', though it never appeared in that film. The Academy has no record of how the error occurred.
The songs "I Won't Forget the Dawn", "What Kind of Love Is This" and "You Don't Know What Love Is" were written for the picture by Don Raye and Gene de Paul but not used.
This was originally planned for production after Ride 'Em Cowboy. The huge success of Abbott and Costello's previous service comedies, Buck Privates and In the Navy, caused Universal to produce this first. The War Department also announced a recruitment campaign called "Keep 'Em Flying Week" which Universal could use as a patriotic tie-in.
