A Vintage Hardcover Book (measures 3 3/4" x 4 1/2" [10 x 11 cm]; 236 pages) (Learn More) Tailspin Tommy in The Great Air Mystery, the 1935 Ray Taylor airplane aviation action adventure serial starring Clark Williams (in the title role as Tailspin Tommy Tompkins), Jean Rogers, Noah Beery Jr., Delphine Drew, and Pat J. O'Brien (billed as "Pat O'Brien"; not THE Pat O'Brien who was part of the "Irish Mafia" with Cagney and McHugh, but another actor who appeared in 17 films between 1921 and 1941). Note that Clark Williams was signed to a contract by Universal in the early 1930s, and they apparently had high hopes for him, giving him the lead role in this serial. But while he made three movies in 1935, he was uncredited in his single movie in 1936, and then he pretty much disappeared. We found a reference to him having become a stage director in the 1940s, and he lived all the way until 1989, but we don't know what happened to him in the intervening years. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that in the 1930s, Whitman Publishing had great success with "Big Little Books", and the similar "Better Little Books", which were tiny books that each had an image on one side and text on the other. They were mostly aimed at children and teenagers, and often were adapted from comic strips, comic books, movies, etc. Also note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads, which should greatly help you judge the condition of this book. Condition: fair to good. Learn More about condition grades
