Auction History Result 3t1022 SQUADRON OF HONOR 1sh 1938 Legionnaires blackmailed to kill a gun control bill, ultra rare! Date Sold 2/14/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Squadron of Honor, the 1938 Charles C. Coleman American Legion military veteran murder gun control crime action thriller ("100,000 Legionaires on a man hunt!"; "The legion goes 'over the top'... to drive the underworld undercover!"; a convoluted story of murder falsely pinned on a member of the American Legion, and the Legionnaires join together to find the true murderer) starring Don Terry, Mary Russell, Thurston Hall, Arthur Loft, Marc Lawrence, Robert Warwick, and Dick Curtis. What is really cool and unusual about this movie is that a major portion of the plot revolves around gun manufacturers and gangsters wanting to kill a pending gun control bill about to reach Congress, and they try to blackmail the members of the American Legion to use their influence to stop the bill, which would prevent private citizens from having the right to purchase guns, which is certainly a timely issue today! Also note that the American Legion is a massive group of veterans that was formed in 1919 after the end of World War I, and it still exists to this day and is a powerful lobby for the rights of all veterans!
