Description

The Dawn Patrol (First National, 1930). One Sheet (27" x 41"). Legendary film director Howard Hawks was a true craftsman of his art. "Dawn Patrol" was Hawks' first aviation film, and he drew upon first hand knowledge, having been a professional airplane racer and a pilot for the Army Air Corps during WWI. The film portrays the pressures and pitfalls of authority that a British Royal Flying Corp squadron commander faced when forced to send out planes against hopeless odds. The film featured Richard Barthelmess and a young Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Beautiful stone litho displays wonderful early aviation art. Fine/Very Fine.
