Danger Flight
Danger Flight (aka Scouts of the Air) is a 1939 American film directed by Howard Bretherton and starring John Trent as Tailspin Tommy Tompkins, Marjorie Reynolds, Milburn Stone and Jason Robards Sr.. The film featured young aviation enthusiasts in a model club. 
"Sky Patrol" is based on the comic strip "Tailspin Tommy" by Hal Forrest and Glenn Chaffin. The final offering of four "Tailspin Tommy" films made by Monogram Pictures, "Danger Flight", was released on November 1, 1939
because of its Victorian homes, its rambling hillside apartments and flophouses, its Angels Flight funicular, and its mean (or at least mean-looking) streets. It was used extensively in such crime films as "Cry Danger" (1951), "Kiss Me Deadly" (1956), "Criss Cross" (1949), Joseph Losey's "M" (1951), and "Angel's Flight" (1965).
Director Curtis Hanson re-created Bunker Hill in another hilly neighborhood altogether in
