Thunderball
Thunderball, I get to use my only 007 trivia that I know! The B-17 at the end was used as part of Operation Skyhook recovery system, to recover pilots from Russia. It belonged to Intermountain Air, N809Z, a subsidiary of Air America. Interestingly enough she still exist, restored back to WWII markings, and owned by Evergreen Air, another CIA Spook airline.

Late last night on TCM they were running old Dick Tracy films, the last one was Dick Tracy's Dilemma from 1947 it was the third Dick Tracy film from RKO. After fans complained about Morgan Conway in the role of Dick Tracy in the first two offerings they replaced him with Ralph Byrd who had played the lead in Dick Tracy from 1937.
