Synopsis:
Pilot “Tailspin” Tommy starts a model-flying club for boys. Gangsters target Mr. Brown’s payroll; Tommy takes the flight and befriends Whitey, the younger brother of a crook. In a storm, Tommy crashes but is rescued thanks to Whitey’s model plane smoke signal and hailed as a hero. Gang boss Dawson then uses Whitey to lure Tommy into landing with the payroll; both are kidnapped. Whitey’s mini-plane sends another smoke signal, leading police to the hideout. The gang flees and crashes; Whitey is honored, and Tommy’s air-scout idea is set to become a national program.

Reviews:
I'll admit, I enjoyed Danger Flight more than I care to admit. This tale, rather bizarrely nicely sliced into two stories, focuses on Tailspin Tommy Thompkins, a pilot who's not really a superhero, sometimes takes bad advice, falls into stupid traps, and fails to win any fights he's in. I guess this is what makes him so appealing. Anyways, this story essentially follows some dark shady character's attempt to steal the payroll shipment that Tommy is delivering. In the first half, we have a nifty story about how a kid named Whitey (!!) is reformed and how Tailspin is no good at flying at night! The second half, Tailspin falls for a stupid trap and has to rely on others (namely the police) to help get him out of the jam he's in. (he's conveniently knocked out). Full of funny process shots, hooty dialogue, (Betty: "The visibility is zero!" Chief: "Yeah, that's pretty low!") but has an amazing sense of heart and thrills about it, Danger Flight is a pleasant surprise!
