The gloss-black, prototype Northrop XP-89 scorpion appears in some scenes set in Russia.
Filmed between December 8, 1949 and February 8, 1950, this long held-back movie finally debuted on September 25, 1957 in Los Angeles, followed by its Manhattan opening at the Palace Theatre on October 4, 1957.
The US Air Force, still taking advantage of Chuck Yeager's 1947 supersonic flight for publicity, offered his services as a stunt pilot. During a stunt involving the inverted dive of an F-86, Yeager misjudged the dive and overstressed the plane's tail, causing the horizontal stabilizer to come apart while he was too low to eject. He barely managed to pull out.
In a later flight, his plane's engine lost a turbine disk during a routine climb, forcing a dead-stick landing.
After intercepting the B-36 in a F-94 Starfire, they are shown departing in a F-80 Shooting Star.
