Havia alguma das aeronaves em "Capitão Sky e o Mundo de Amanhã" Baseado em aviões reais?

Sim. O avião do Capitão Sky era baseado em P-40 Warhawk (eu acho que era mais precisamente um P-40N). nz / p40a.html "> Kittyhawk ).

De IMDb :

Sky Captain flies a late-model P-40, the six gun version of the P-40N. However, his has a few "Hollywoodifications":

• The rear decking behind the pilot's seat, and the fuselage fuel tank under it, were removed in order to add a second seat (for Polly). This was actually done to some real P-40s for flight instruction.
• The pop-open bays for the cable launcher and magnet bombs are right in the middle of the centerline fuel tank (which fills the interior of the wing between the main wheel wells).
• The small underwater engines under the horizontal stabilizers would retract right into the tail wheel gear well, and into each other.
• When going into underwater mode, the ostensibly solid-metal propeller blades collapse down into the prop spinner, and into a different section of space-time. The real plane's prop spinner is a shell that goes around the collars and gearing of the prop hub assembly.
• Roughly 5000 horsepower appears to have been added to the 1200hp Allison engine.

Além disso, a aeronave no aeródromo voador da RAF parece ter como base o Bell XP-55 "Ascender", uma aeronave experimental de 1943 que nunca entrou em produção.
