I am not certain but page 929 of the volume 53, number 6 issue of Popular Mechanics Magazine from June 1930 has an article entitled "The West Point of the Air" which covers Air Corps training at Scott Field, near Belleville, Illinois and at Chanute Field, at Rantoul, Illinois. I have not seen this movie but given that it was supposed to take place in the 1930's and the date of this magazine issue, it's not improbable to think that it was Scott or Chanute Air Force Bases.
