Frank Tomick who flew one of the two Curtiss JN-4 aircraft that were involved in the mid-air battles. Wilson produced his own movies until 1927, when he went back to work with Universal. Reception Aviation film historian Stephen Pendo in Aviation in the Cinema (1985) said The Air Hawk was only one of a long list of aviation films that showcased Wilson's talents. He alternately wrote, acted, and flew in a career that "spanned more than 10 years, and he acted in more films than any other professional pilot." In The Air Hawk, Pendo noted the aerial stunts featured "a mid-air leap between planes." References Notes Citations Bibliography Pendo, Stephen. Aviation in the Cinema.
