The Spirit of St. Louis (1957)

Biography of Charles Lindburgh from his days of precarious mail runs in aviation's infancy to his design of a small transatlantic plane and the vicissitudes of its takeoff and epochal flight from New York to Paris in 1927. Starring James Stewart as Charles Lindburgh.

The Bride Came C.O.D. (1941)

Charter pilot Steve Collins (James Cagney) is able to stay one step ahead of girlfriends who want to marry him and the bill collector who wants to repossess his plane. His latest charter is Joan Winfield (Bette Davis), a madcap heiress who is eloping to Las Vegas with vapid bandleader Allen Brice (Jack Carson). When Steve finds out that her oil tycoon father (Eugene Pallette) vehemently objects to the marriage, he is able to negotiate with him to kidnap his daughter and deliver her to him in exchange for enough money to save his plane and business. Unexpectedly the aircraft goes down in a ghost town inhabited by an idiosyncratic but lovable old man (Harry Davenport). Trapped in the desert, the improbable couple soon find that opposites attract.
