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!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets).

Condition: good. The poster was hand-folded. It has creases, smudges and scuff marks scattered throughout and there are some areas of surface paper loss and creases around the edges. There are a few diagonal creases at lower right (see our image).
