The Sky Parade is a 1936 American aviation drama film directed by Otho Lovering and written by Arthur J. Beckhard, Robert M. Burtt, Brian Marlow, Wilfred G. Moore and Byron Morgan. Starring Jimmie Allen, William Gargan, Katherine DeMille, Kent Taylor, Grant Withers and Syd Saylor, it was released on April 17, 1936, by Paramount Pictures.[1]

The Sky Parade was based on the radio series The Air Adventures of Jimmie Allen created by Robert M. Burtt and Wilfred G. Moore (first broadcast in 1933).[2] After years of Jimmie Allen radio drama episodes, "Jimmie makes his (screen) début in "The Sky Parade,"[3] The film was also notable as "the first film to use a number of incidents which would later become common within the sub-genre: the attempted hijack."[4]
