SOUND BARRIER
£750.00
Original U.S. 41 inch x 81 inch 3-Sheet Poster for the 1952 David Lean Drama THE SOUND BARRIER starring Ralph Richardson, Ann Todd, Nigel Patrick and John Justin.
Loosely based on the real-life story of aircraft designer Geoffrey de Havilland and the loss of his son (Geoffrey de Havilland, Jr.), the de Havilland company’s test pilot who died attempting to fly faster than sound in the DH108. The Prometheus jet aircraft that appears in the film was one of the prototypes of the Supermarine Swift (VV119), itself a particularly troublesome aircraft design.
The poster, which is in 2 separate sheets, is in very good condition with splits at the cross folds.
