The Airplane in the top row of pics is probably not real (or a replica) becasue I believe all the originals were crashed. Anyway its a 1932 Gee Bee R1 Supersportster The engine is Pratt and Whitney Wasp ~ 800HP.

You are right, Wrenchhead, it is a replica of the Gee Bee Model Z Super Sportster. Only one of this type was built and crashed December 5th, 1931.

good movie..shame Disney didnt put as much effort into plugging it like they do with their cartoons..the only place i remember seeing a decent write up on the movie when it was new was in a British Sci Fi fanzine...thus it bombed at the cinema, but went well onto video and allways gets a good audience when its on TV.

Hello! I am new to this board, but I'm a Rocketeer fan from way back. Bill Turner built the GeeBee that flies in the movie. As far as I know Craig Hosking flew it in the movie:

Type: Low-wing Monoplane
Registration #: NR77V

Apparently the bulk of the cars and trucks in "The Rocketeer" were supplied by Nationwide Picture Cars (formerly Classic Car Suppliers) a/k/a MovieVehicles.com: http://movievehicles.com/scenes/rocketeer.htm

The 1931 PITCAIRN-CIERVA PCA-2 and 1931 GEEBEE Z (non-flying replica) are apparently on display on the Backlot Tour at Disney-MGM Studios (now \"Disney\'s Hollywood Studios\"), Lake Buena Vista, FL.

If you watch closely after Bigelow assures the audience that the ailing biplane is all part of the show, you can see a chalkboard with the pilots names on it, including Hosking and Turner.

A Ford Trimotor is also visible during the air show sequence.

Updated with HD pictures, and added two vehicles. I've also replaced all of the additional captures in stronghold's comments with HD ones.
