Description

Ace of Aces (RKO, 1933). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Based on the book "Bird of Prey" by John Monk Saunders, an acknowledged master of aviation epics. Richard Dix stars as Rex Thorne, a pacifistic sculptor who registers as a conscientious objector when WWI breaks out. Thorne's unwillingness to fight in a war he believes to be unnecessary is misread as cowardice by his socialite sweetheart Nancy Adams (Elizabeth Allen). In "Four Feathers" fashion, Thorne signs up with the Air Corps to prove his courage. This is one of the most gorgeous stone lithographs done in beautiful RKO fashion. The poster has only the most minor cross fold separation. From the collection of Jim Ashton. Very Fine+.
