The Great Waldo Pepper

[rich]

I've been trying to get hold of photo-posters of early barnstorming activities without luck. Tried all sorts of photo libraries without luck. If anyone knows where I can get hold of big B&W prints let me know. Also looking for DC-3 type era B&W poster photos.

cheers rich

Do you mean the Red Baron Squadron? (Named after Red Baron frozen pizzas) They fly a bunch of Stearmans. Did a little with them years ago - THE best fun you can have with your trousers on, still have the team jacket!

Not quite, I'm looking for original stuff from in between WW1 and WW2. The Great Waldo Pepper was a film(Robert Redford) losely based on fact about WW1 pilots turning to stunt flying to make ends meet. Wing walking and blokes on rope ladders underneath the aircraft.

cheers rich

ps also got a few hours in a Stearman playing games.
