Wellman airplane aviation pilot romantic love triangle melodrama (a complete history of aviation from Kitty Hawk through the then present day of 1938, with the fictional framing device of three friends who become interested in aviation as children, and all grow up to play important parts in its development, and they have a love triangle!) starring Fred MacMurray, Ray Milland, Louise Campbell, Andy Devine, Lynne Overman, Porter Hall, Walter Abel, Kitty Kelly, Donald O'Connor (in his first credited role, as Fred MacMurray's character as a young boy!), and Virginia Weidler. Note that many people consider this to be a "forgotten classic". It inspired countless young people who saw it in their youth to become pilots, and William Wellman, who had directed "Wings", was able to do so much more with the aviation sequences in this movie, and it deserves to be "re-discovered".

Important Added Info: Note that in the 1930s, Whitman Publishing had great success with "Big Little Books", and the similar "Better Little Books", which were tiny books that each had an image on one side and text on the other. They were mostly aimed at children and teenagers, and often were adapted from comic strips, comic books, movies, etc. Also note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads, which should greatly help you judge the condition of this book.
