The serial was based on the comic strip by Zack Moseley but it was not in the spirit of the strip as would normally be expected from a Universal production. Very little of the original comic strip was used and a new character, Tommy Thompson, was created by Universal. The similarity to Tommy Tomkins, of the Tailspin Tommy stories, may imply a crossover of sorts. Cline suggests that it was "a quick attempt to get a story on screen about a topical subject, and could have had almost any flyer with any name as a hero

Hop Harrigan first appeared in All American Comics #1 created by Jon Blummer (Fighting Yank, Little Boy Blue) as one of the first successful aviation heroes in comic history (Hop appeared after Tailspin Tommy, Barney Baxter, Connie Kurridge and others). Hop Harrigan was technically not a true superhero (as he had no costume or special powers) though he did meet the Justice Society of America in All American Comics #8 and he did eventually become a superhero from All American Comics #25 (April 1941) to #28 (July) as the costumed Guardian Angel.

The Tailspin Tommy comic also became a subject for four Monogram feature movies and two, twelve-part serials along with a radio series, Big Little books, several pulp magazines and comic books. The comic strip appeared in as many as 250 newspapers and was carried on color Sunday comic pages. Most of this pen and ink "action" took place during the 1930s and the strip died out in 1942 with a minor reappearance of a comic book in 1946. Being first is always a precarious honor and eventually becomes a challenge as it engenders competition. Tailspin Tommy occupies an important spot in aviation history and is worthy of collection - thousands of young men labored over their model airplanes and enjoyed the aerial adventures of comic characters as the youth of America became "air minded" and were unknowingly prepared for the major conflict of World War 2.
