An Original Vintage Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh) (Learn More) Panama and the Canal from an Aeroplane, the 1914 Robert G. Fowler silent Panama Canal airplane aviation travel documentary ("Surveying the canal from a height of a thousand feet"; "in six parts"; "Waiting for the labor train"; "Steam shovel at work in Culebra Cut"; "Gatun locks one in operation adjoining one empty"; "Market place in Panama City"; "Native burden bearers"; "Native life in the canal zone"; "Street in Panama"; "The feature film sensation of the century") produced by George F. Cosby and M.B. Dudley. Note that this is surely one of the very first airplane aviation movies, where a pilot and cameraman (Robert G. Fowler & Ray Duhem) went up in an extremely early airplane (a 1912 Gage biplane) and they flew low over Panama City and the canal (which was still under construction), and took footage of those areas, which was then compiled into this documentary! Note that director Robert G. Fowler donated the plane to the Smithsonian's National Air & Space Museum. It is now known as the Fowler-Gage, and is on display at the Smithsonian's Udvar-Hazy Annex in Chantilly, Virginia. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: Very Good.
