The crop dusting biplane which crashes and burns while attempting to kill Roger as he's waiting to meet the mythical "Mr. Kaplan" at the desolate Prairie Stop is supposedly flown by Vandamm's henchman, Licht. Sir Alfred Hitchcock knew that it would be much more menacing if the pilot were never actually seen, and if Roger was threatened by a faceless, impersonal machine. The plane gets destroyed, and Licht is killed, while his character simply disappears from the rest of movie without any further mention ever being made of him, or an explanation of his absence being given.
