Interesting Tri-Motor Aircraft


What appear to be Savoia-Marchetti SM79 aircraft land at the British outpost bringing with them the George Sanders character. While Great Britain didn't build tri-motor aircraft at that time, I suppose they could have purchased them before the war unless they were captured ones. Either that or the movie folks just thought they looked neat. I agree that they do.

Trivia says that they are Stinson Model A aircraft and they do look quite similar to the SM79. Trivia says that the Stinsons never got anywhere near where this movie was supposed to take place so maybe they were SM79s after all?
