==Behind the scenes==
This story was first published in March of 1969 in Donald Duck #124. It was reprinted in Donald Duck #242, as well as in the Australian Donald Duck #154.
The story seemingly identifies 176-167, a member of the iconic Beagle Boys trio usually seen in Duckburg, as "Deadhead-167". However, this link is made nowhere else, and it seems Deadhead must be a separate character who happens to share a serial number with the classic Beagle.
The name of the story is a play on Flight of the Bumbleduck, the famous musical piece.
