An Autographed Book Page (measures 5 3/4" x 8 1/2") (Learn More) General William "Billy" Mitchell was a U.S. Army officer from the 1890s to the 1920s. He was an early advocate and innovator of military air power, and is considered by many as the father of what is now known as the U.S. Air Force. He had unpopular views before World War II and was court-martialed, but he was later vindicated. His story was told in the movie "The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell", where he was portrayed by Gary Cooper. Mitchell passed away in 1936 at the age of 56. Important Added Info: Note that this item (which is a blank page removed from a book) has been personally autographed (signed) by Billy Mitchell (he signed it "Wm. Mitchell")! Note that this item was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and he also had correspondence with many famous celebrities which he saved. In addition, he would sometimes ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles or from other reputable Hollywood book stores and poster shops (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. So all of these autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from reputable Hollywood book stores, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic! Condition: very good. The page was removed from a book and there are tears down the left side and darkening around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
