Willis JA-3 (fictional aircraft)
Fictionnal rocket plane seen through a model...
or through non flyable mock (built from a P-39).
The undercarriage is clearly that of a P-39.
This fictionnal aircraft has an escape crew capsule, something rarely seen in aviation (and never at the time of the movie).
North American F-86 Sabre
Seen from the soil and playing the flying JA-3.
Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress

Supermarine Spitfire
Same aircraft in other movies at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft.
Messerschmitt Me 163 B-1 Komet
Several scenes displaying glimpses of the german rocket fighter.
Hawker Hurricane
On the wall, a poster of Churchill with the slogan : let us go forward together.
This displaying tanks and Hawker Hurricanes.
Stinson Station Wagon
According Wikipedia, the Stinson Station Wagon is a derivative of the Stinson 108.
Douglas C-47 Skytrain
Lockheed F-80C Shooting Star
Last check is done on FT-500 and FT-508.
