Cond A.
One of many variants of this simple, patriotic design meant to
promote a charity event for wounded pilots. The image appears
to have been used almost monthly throughout the early-tomid-1930s
to promote the same type of event, the only graphic
difference being a change of date.

A dramatically simple design in which the stark white silhouette
of an airplane cuts across a midnight blue-on-black cloudy
sky, diving toward the mountainous terrain below. Without
any showy frills, this rare poster promises death-defying feats
and excitement for anyone who attends the 1927 International
Airmeet in Zurich.

Mabileau, Paris
Cond A. Framed.
While one would generally assume that this depicted
a Paris to Bordeaux air race, it was in fact a solo
undertaking by the Peruvian aviator Juan Bielovucic
Cavalié. His mission was to prove that the airplane
could rival the train as a speedy and valid form of
transport, supposedly completing the trip in six hours.
In actuality, the 350 mile trip took seven and half hours
over the course of three days.
Est: $1,700-$2,000.
