Difficulties with Stewart's schedule led to the abandonment of aerial sequences that had been planned with Stewart actually flying one of the replicas over European locales. Ultimately, staged scenes using a mock-up on a sound stage had to suffice.

Stewart (with hair bleached blond) was ultimately cast as Lindbergh, but his age was pointedly an issue in post-production reviews.
