A Los Angeles Examiner newspaper cover headlined "Man Flies Without Plane!" from Joe Johnston's action-adventure film The Rocketeer. Newspapers were distributed around Los Angeles after Cliff Secord (Bill Campbell) donned his Rocketeer pack for the first time to rescue Malcolm (Eddie Jones) at Bigelow's Air Circus.

Dated "October 15, 1938," this black-and-white, production-made newsprint cover is headlined "Man Flies Without Plane! Rocketeer Thrills Crowd" alongside a photo of the Rocketeer, a story about his heroism, and an additional photo of Bigelow (Jon Polito) headlined "Air Circus Owner Won't Reveal Hero's Identity." The newspaper exhibits horizontal fold lines and tearing along its edges from production. Dimensions: 23" x 17" (58.5 cm x 43.25 cm)

Estimate: $1,200 - 2,400
