1941 Movie: 49th Parallel

[WaldoPepper]

flipping channels the other nite saw this movie. there was a seaplane in it that they crashed while making the film and I cannot tell what the seaplane was. It looked like a cross between a Travel Air 6000 (cabin looked too small for a TA) and a Cessna AW 6 Executive on floats. It seemed to have a Pratt & Whitney Wasp radial engine. It was listed as being a RCAF Seaplane. Spent an evening searching with no results. If anyone saw the movie and recognized it please post an answer. Thanks.
