So when he loses his last dollar on a horserace fixed by a smuggler, he forces himself to accept a $25,000 offer to transport a box of contraband currency from Egypt to Spain.

Vultee BT-13B Valiant
Registration N53317, c/n 91278.
Beechcraft D18S
False Egyptian registration SU-AAC. Maybe N80356 which appears in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof?
Cessna 150
Grumman TBM-1C Avenger
Grumman TBM 1C Avenger N9394H (BuNo. 46122) wearing fictitious code F-939H. This airframe was already seen in On a island with you (1948) and in Thunder in the east (1953).
A French fighter is intercepting the Beechcraft, an Avenger acting as what should be a Grumman Hellcat ... But French Avenger and Hellcat were painted in dark color (Night Blue if used by the navy or dark ) not such a light one.
