An interesting collection depicting stunts, crashes, and behind the scenes techniques of aviation in cinematography. Many types of planes are featured, from a reconstructed 1883 glider to planes last seen in WWI.
Most appear to be original Type I photos, though notably the image of Ormer Locklear stunting in 1919 is a reprint, likely from the 40's/50's. All are in good to excellent condition. All on 8x10" paper.
Films featured: The Great Waldo Pepper, Young Eagles, Kingdom of the Spiders, Wings, Air Mail, Men With Wings, Gallant Journey.
Includes images of: Dick Grace, John P. Fulton, Paul Mantz, Don C. Stevens.
