    2 of the images feature clara bow.
    measures 15"x19."
    the filming of wings involved hundreds of extras & pilots, many of whom were associated w the united states army.
    a poster such as this was probably presented to one of the army regiments involved in the filming.

    the upper area of the poster has a spot in which an army officer's photo appears.
    there is also an honor roll section listing the names of the officers & soldiers.
    the poster is very displayable.
    all imagery is great looking.
    can be displayed just as it is or restored to look even more sensational.
    there is wear/damage that includes -
    many crease lines (some of which are heavy) & tears.
    some creases/tears were amateurishly repaired on the back w old tape.
    nearly impossible to find in any condition.
    wonderful vintage clara bow, wings, WW1 poster!
