Cool Item Of the Month: The Central Airport pressbook

Return to Cool Item of the Month Archive

Added: 10/20/2025

As many of you know, I, Bruce Hershenson, owner of eMoviePoster.com, have collected pressbooks (and related movie paper like studio yearbooks) for over 30 years, and I have the world's foremost collection of such material. I thought I would share one item with you this week, the type of items you almost surely have never seen before, and which might not come up for sale for DECADES!

This week, I have the pressbook from Central Airport, the 1933 William A. Wellman daredevil airplane aviation pilot romantic love triangle melodrama ("Rising to his greatest heights"; about a pair of daredevil flyers who are best friends, but then they both fall in love with the same woman) starring Richard Barthelmess, Sally Eilers, Tom Brown, Grant Mitchell, James Murray, and John Wayne (in a bit part as a pilot!)

Here are images of the front, back, and interior pages:

Each month I will showcase a different pressbook (or related item) from my collection (so in just 25,000 weeks or so, I will have shared the entire collection with you!).
