Goofs
Throughout the serial aircraft change during flying sequences. A plane will be shown taking off and suddenly its now a different plane shown flying. The hero flying his plane goes to transport himself to another plane, or car, or boat, and it will become a different airplane. Sometimes the film is inverted to give the impression of the direction it's going. Usually you will notice backward numbers on the planes during this effect.

Quotes
Thomas Edmonds: Study that model, Captain; you'll find her interesting.
Captain Bob Raymond: [Raymond gazes at his daughter] I'm sure of that.
Mary Edmonds: Father was referring to his model plane.
