Flight for Freedom was produced by RKO, whose CEO, Floyd Odlum, was married to Jacqueline Cochran, one of Earhart's close friends and a renowned aviator in her own right.
•
Film historians and Earhart scholars consider Flight for Freedom an "a-clef" version of the Amelia Earhart life story concentrating on the sensational aspects of her disappearance during her 1937 world flight.
•
Other characters are loosely drawn from real life, such as Earhart confidant and instructor, Paul Mantz as well as Fred Noonan, albeit in the role of pilot Randy Britton.
