Description: 1934 news poster: daredevil stunt flier This is a rare Illustrated Current News poster, dated June 13, 1934. It measures 12.5 x 19 inches in size. Printed on glossy paper, it is in excellent condition, with four thumbtack perforations in its left blank margin, and two old fold lines, as originally issued. (These Illustrated Current News posters were published 3 times a week. They were folded into quarters when they were mailed to subscribers, which were typically stores or newsstands which displayed them for viewing by their customers.) The poster presents a funny and unusual photo of a man encased in a block of ice being loaded onto a plane. The headline and caption explains the context of the bizarre scene: AVIATOR DEFIES OLD MAN SOL Philadelphia, Pa. Slim Jones, daring stunt flier, set a precedent for his fellow airmen when he went aloft in a plane, attired only in a bathing suit and seated in a large cake of ice. He explained that this was his idea of escaping the heat wave. Photo shows Slim Jones being carried into his plane. The poster has the National Recovery Administration eagle symbol in its bottom left corner, with the slogan, NRA Member - U.S. - We Do Our Part. The N.R.A. was a cornerstone of FDRs New Deal policies which helped America recover from the Great Depression. [gsp12307b] _gsrx_vers_1680 (GS 9.8.3 (1680))
