Comments: Mercy Plane is a 1939 American aviation crime drama film directed by Richard Harlan and starring James Dunn and Frances Gifford. The plot involves military aircraft being stolen by "hot plane" thieves, to be re-sold to new owners, with most of the world at war, presumably to war-torn countries. With location filming done at Alhambra Airport, California, the film features numerous aircraft models, including the Lockheed Model 12 Electra Junior as the "Mercy Plane". Lead actor Dunn, a licensed pilot, did his own flying in the film.
