An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Jumbo Movie Window Card (WC; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More)

The Dawn Patrol, the 1938 Edmund Goulding World War I (WWI) airplane pilot aviation thriller ("From an original story by John Monks Saunders"; about British pilots in World War I flying primitive airplanes that crash with regularity, and one of the pilots, played by Flynn, criticizes the Major, played by Rathbone, for sending men to their death, but then Rathbone is promoted, and Flynn is faced with the same difficult decisions, and he orders his best friend's younger brother on a mission that kills him, which puts a massive rift between him and his best friend) starring Errol Flynn, Basil Rathbone, David Niven, Donald Crisp, Melville Cooper, Barry Fitzgerald, James Stephenson, Stuart Hall, Carl Esmond, and Morton Lowry. Note that this movie bears many similarities to "Twelve O'Clock High", where pilots faced the same difficulties in World War II.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this window card, and that was 24 years ago, when it sold for $3,220! Also note that this jumbo window card is not "roll-able", because the paper is thick enough and it is fragile enough that rolling it would damage it. Therefore we will send it in a large flat package that measures approximately 24" x 30". Please bear that extra shipping cost in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster!

Condition: good to very good. The poster has nail holes and tiny paper loss in the top 1", with a 2" tear near the center. It has some small nail holes scattered in the bottom 3" of the image, and some brown stains in the bottom border. It has a 2" tear in the lower left border that extends into the background. Someone put tape on the back of the small nail holes in the bottom of the image and performed slight restoration to the front of those areas, but otherwise did no restoration. Because of the location of the defects, the poster can be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or certainly, additional restoration could be performed. Either way, the new owner will have a wonderful poster to display on their wall!
