Howard Hughes' Jet Pilot, the 1957 Josef von Sternberg Cold War airplane aviation military fighter pilot romantic melodrama ("Earth-shaking, sky-shattering!"; "Exploding with all the power of the Jet-Age... With all the passion of a daring love story!"; "She made him forget he was a soldier! He made her remember she was a woman!"; "The greatest air spectacle of the Jet Age"; "Jet-Flame action! Jet-Hot thrills!"; "Greatest air spectacle of the Jet Age!"; "Earth-shaking, sky-shattering!... So Big it took years to make!"; "The Roar of Jets! Those Screaming Eagles are on the job in the greatest air spectacle of the jet age!"; "No man can pay the price for what this woman offers!"; "Only The Sky was big enough to hold the sweep and power of this epic-making picture!"; "Written and Produced by Jules Furthman"; produced by Howard Hughes) starring John Wayne, Janet Leigh, "The U.S. Air Force", Jay C. Flippen, Paul Fix, Hans Conried, John Bishop, Roland Winters, and Richard Rober. Note that this movie was produced in 1950 but not released until 1957. RKO had ceased to exist at the time this movie was finally released, and Universal probably re-used old printing plates, and put their logo at the bottom, covering over the old one which explains why materials on this movie have both studios printed on them!

Important Added Info: Note that in December 2021, we were consigned a truly remarkable collection of pressbooks (the first 37 were auctioned in our December Major Auction, and the most expensive one sold for $17,500!). In our regular auctions since, we have auctioned hundreds more from this collection. Now we continue to auction more of these pressbooks, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever been consigned. In this set of auctions, most of the ones we are auctioning are larger pressbooks, mostly 11" x 15" or larger. Some of them were folded at one time, but they were stored unfolded for many years, so we left them unfolded, and unless the new owner requests otherwise, we will send them unfolded, because re-folding them would likely lessen the condition. Many of these are ones we have either never auctioned before or only once auctioned before, sometimes many years ago. These were collected decades ago, which was the only time that many of these could be found, and after these auctions are over it may be years (or decades!) before some of these are offered again. They ARE that rare! Note that pressbooks from the 1930s are almost never found in great condition, and some of them (especially those printed during World War II, including all the MGM ones from that time) are printed on newsprint, and are hard to find in even lesser condition. We have several images from each pressbook. We have given each an overall grade, and ask that you look at our images to get a good sense of the condition of that pressbook, because, since they have many pages, it would take forever to describe their condition in detail. However, EVERY one of these pressbooks is complete and uncut!

Note: We have 11 images of this pressbook, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 11 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 1.
