An Original Vintage Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) I Wanted Wings, the 1941 Mitchell Leisen World War II (WWII) airplane aviation military thriller ("The grandest aviation picture ever to thrill the heart of America! ... All the power, the splendor of Uncle Sam's great air armada... all the courage, the daring of the men who man the air defenses of America... brought to flaming, heart-stirring wonder on the screen in the roaring drama of four 'hot pilots' and the blonde bomber who raids their hearts."; "1,000 planes... 10,000 thrills... and one terrific blonde!"; "The thrilling saga of America's flying youth!"; "Flying Fortress crashes!"; "Flying fists!"; "Daring mid-air rescue!"; "First American air-raid!"; "Based on a story by Eleanore Griffin and Frank Wead"; "From the book, 'I Wanted Wings', by Beirne Lay Jr.") starring Ray Milland, William Holden, Wayne Morris, Brian Donlevy, Constance Moore, Veronica Lake ("Blonde bomber... she flew them into the ground!"; in her first real role; she had a few bit parts, and a few where she was billed under her real name of Constance Keane), and Harry Davenport NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this great individual still (and a number of others, both singles and sets) come from a recently discovered collection of mostly 1930s stills (but with some from the 1920s, and some from the 1940s and 1950s) that came from the estate of a longtime journalist who wrote about these movies and visited the sets of many movies and were given these stills at that time. They are all rare original stills from the first release of the movies, and some have cool candid images. We auctioned a similar group of stills from this wonderful collection in our auctions that closed April 12, 2022, and now we are auctioning almost all of the remaining stills from this collection (in singles and sets, just as they were last time). After this set of auctions, there will be only a handful left from this collection, so this is pretty much your last opportunity to acquire these extremely rare stills, including some from movies you almost never see anything from! Condition: good to very good. There are creases scattered around the edges, but they are mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. Learn More about condition grades
