Principal photography for Aerial Gunner by the Paramount Pictures PineThomas Productions unit took place over a period from October 21midNovember 1942. Location work at the air gunner training school at Harlingen Air Force Base, Texas. Many of the real AAF trainees there appear in the film as extras.With the assistance of the USAAF, aerial scenes featured North American T6 Texan and Beech AT11 Kansan trainers at Harlingen Air Force Base, and Lockheed B34 Lexington bombers. The use of operational aircraft lent an air of authenticity to the lowbudget B film feature, although a number of ground scenes that were later added, which had to rely on studio rear projection work, looked amateurish. ........
