Stephen Pendo, in Aviation in the Cinema (1985) said Three Miles Up 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 Three Miles Up , Pendo noted the aerial stunts featured Wilson who "as a former ace forced into crime and then trying to escape his situation." The film had Wilson in a spectacular stunt, jumping "from one plane to another by lassoing one aircraft and swinging on the rope." References Notes Citations Bibliography Pendo, Stephen.
