another useful tip when a colleague sends you a word document is to "show changes"
A wise man or woman accepts all the changes when they are finished and save the final document under a slightly different file name. It's amazing what people write about you and your opinions and then delete..................

The pilot screaming above is actor Richard Arlen.
Quite the filmography...

He appears in the mystery machine above and another rare aircraft - both seen in the same film.

From your very generous clue: Player CT-6A of which I cannot find a picture but it's not the other one in the film for which a picture is available.
I take no credit for this so Open House if correct.

Nicely found. 
NX19994.
From the movie Power Dive.
Rare Americans can usually be found and illustrated @ aerofiles.com.
The other rare machine seen in the movie is the Phillips 1-B Aeroneer NX16075.

The deH 86 Express came before the deH 89 Rapide. The the Rapide is in fact a "scaled down" 86.....

On the contrary, the Dragon had a totally different wing planform when compared to the 'Rapide' version.

In many ways the two aircraft were aimed at the same market. The deH 89 Dragon Rapide (originally to be known as the Dragon Six) was a considerably developed, improved version of the deH84 Dragon. The changes resulted in an aeroplane with a much enhanced performance.
Oh BTW, I do not think you need to be a ""rare purist"" to spot the differences between the two distinct types....!!!

nakajima hi115 Kamikaze
Searching Aircraft 1940's jetonisable undercarriage brought up more than I'd thought - The Arado, the Me 163, the Douglas Skystreak etc etc
