Some scenes take place at Floyd Bennett Air Field on Barren Island in Brooklyn, New York, named after the naval pilot for Richard Byrd's flight over the North Pole in 1926. It was a popular site for aviators seeking to break records. Twenty-six around-the-world or transatlantic flights started or ended at Floyd Bennett Field in the 1930s. It is now part of the Gateway National Recreation Area.
