This film was conceived as a low-budget feature meant to capitalize on Dick Merrill's and Jack Lambie's historic "Coronation Flight", which made them world-famous.

Later, he meets socialite Gail Strong (Paula Stone), who is interested in aviation and persuades Bennett's aircraft engineer friend Bill Edwards (Weldon Heyburn) to try a parachute jump.

Her fiancé, Baron Hayygard (Ivan Lebedeff) pledges that he will win the Stanley Trophy Race, to make her keep her promise to marry him, and resorts to desperate measures, knocking out Bennett.

As appearing in screen credits:[1] In 1937 Merrill was hired by Hearst Publishing to repeat the "Ping-Pong Flight",[2] co-piloted by 27-year-old Jack Lambie in a Lockheed Model 10E Electra dubbed "Daily Express".

[2] Strictly a "B" feature, the Atlantic Flight is best considered a historical record, with a great deal of aviation footage of the period to commend it.
