Description

Ace of Aces (RKO, 1933). Mini Window Card (8" X 14"). War.
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 World War I 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. There is a dust shadow on the right border and a faint stain on the bottom left corner. Very Fine.
