Sorry to bounce this thread but I’ve just seen the movie and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It really looks as though a great deal of care was taken with the flying shots and there are some good things in it, such as a Bleriot(?). a Jungmann, a Ford Tri-motor, a Waco and even a couple of Tiger Moths. Even if they are not all to period it’s all pretty close. As others have said Hilary Swank’s resemblance to Earhart is striking and the film doesn’t pretend to provide a “happy” ending and sticks pretty close to what I understand to be the facts. Even Bernard Chabbert (the Duxford commentator) gets a credit which is fair as his aircraft was used in the film. Just one question. How did they film the crash of the Lockheed?
