A "Man Flies Without Plane" Los Angeles Examiner newspaper cover from Joe Johnston's The Rocketeer. After reporters captured images of his rescue of Malcolm (Eddie Jones), Clifford Secord (Billy Campbell) saw the newspapers the following day, as did Neville Sinclair (Timothy Dalton) and the FBI.

This 18-page, black-and-white, production-made Los Angeles Examiner cover is headlined "Man Flies Without Plane!" and subtitled "Rocketeer Thrills Crowd." Printed on newsprint, the lot features a picture of Rocketeer flying over the crowd and is accompanied by an additional picture subtitled, "Air Circus Owner Won't Reveal Hero's Identity," alongside unrelated stories on the front and back. It exhibits minimal creasing from storage and age. Dimensions: 23" x 17.5" x 0.5" (58 cm x 44.5 cm x 1 cm)

Estimate: $1,200 - 2,400
