WWI 1926 MOVIE POSTER '" THE FLYING ACE " Lot #289 (Sale Order 411 of 876) 14" x 22" poster for Richard E. Norman 's silent movie " The Flying Ace ", starring an all black African American cast. Norman left his mark on motion picture history. Like so many filmmakers operating outside the studio system, Norman tried various approaches until he found one that worked - making films aimed at African-American audiences. Norman was a white Southerner but he did not seek to include the sort of insulting, dangerous, condescending stereotypes that D.W. Griffith was spreading in his films. Black audiences of the day were sick and tired of seeing white performers in blackface acting like monsters, fools or infants; they wanted to see themselves as they really were. There was a strong demand for positive African-American pictures and Norman sought to fill that demand. The Flying Ace is the only extant Norman film and it was the second-to-last feature he made. Fold marks and a small tear and pinhole at the center fold. very good.

GERMAN WW2 M42 CKL64 NORMANDY CAMO HEER HELMET Lot #476 (Sale Order 634 of 876) This is a beautiful brush stroke camouflage helmet typical of the Normandy pattern with a tan base coat of paint followed by spray or brush strokes in dark forest green and reddish brown hues. The overall wear pattens on the paint are random and consistent with known originals have slightly more wear on the top than on the sides and back. The wear patterns appear naturally made and achieved during war time usage. There are a few white foreign paint marks most likely due to contact with white paint cans in a garage or other less than pristine setting and can be removed with acetone if so desired. The helmet is rear marked CKL64 (Eisenwerkes factory in the city of Thale formerly ET) and is an M42 model helmet with it's original well used liner system and three split pins still in place. The rear prongs of all 3 pins has been carefully inspected and confirmed to have no waviness to them and have never been removed or replaced. Although they do protrude somewhat from the helmet all three split pin's winged backings have only been bent over once and are typical of what was coming out of the German factories late in the war. Unfortunately the original chinstrap was removed long ago and so merely needs to be added to complete the piece.

ORIGINAL GERMAN WW2 M42 EF64 SD HEER HELMET Lot #571 (Sale Order 733 of 876) This is your classic mid war EF side marked M42 helmet with its complete liner system in untouched condition. Later in the war EF (EF)-Emaillierwerke AG, Fulda, Germany moved its mark to the rear skirt and is often very fainted stamped and non-readable. Rear marked 0023 indicative of a production date near August of 1942 according to Brian Ice’s lot data book. The helmet’s decal is textbook EF (Huber Jordan & Koener) with the characteristic large left talon. It appears that the lacquer resin used to seal in and protect the decal has oxidized unevenly causing this tea tone appearance often mistaken by novice collectors as being Kreigsmarine. I am confident that that is in fact a regular Heer single decal helmet and not the more expensive KM. Outside paint is in great condition. A great addition to any collection.

The Chief of the Army General Staff, with direct access to the emperor could operate independently of the civilian government. Seventeen officers held the rank of Chief of the Army General Staff between1879 and 1945. The American Occupation authorities abolished the Imperial Army General Staff in September 1945.

Japanese WW2 Konishoruko Type 89 Machine Gun Lot #624 (Sale Order 787 of 876) The Konishoruko Rokuoh-Sha Type 89 camera was used for military training exercises. Before the age of tiny digital cameras broadcasting live feeds, air forces around the world mounted large film cameras onto fighter planes for both actual battles and training. The battle cameras were used to confirm kills for pilots, while training gun cameras were used to evaluate how accurate fighter pilots were without having to use live rounds. A multi-purpose training device, this "gun" is effectively a camera mounted in an oversized housing, suitable for installation in a wing mount or waist-gun emplacement. When the trigger is pulled, the camera runs, with footage being taken of what the gun is aimed at, as well as an optional stopwatch; after landing, the film can be analyzed by the trainers for proper lead and burst timing. Konishoruko, the manufacturer of the camera, later renamed itself Konica and went on to become the well-known Japanese brand that merged with Minolta in 2003 to form the current company Konica Minolta. The camera is in overall excellent condition, especially considering it was used during war-time.

All five were assigned to the light cruiser USS Juneau. The Juneau participated in a number of naval engagements during the months-long Guadalcanal Campaign beginning in August 1942. Early in the morning of November 13, 1942, during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, the Juneau was struck by a Japanese torpedo and forced to withdraw. Later that day, as it was leaving the Solomon Islands' area for the Allied rear-area base at Espiritu Santo with other surviving US warships from battle, the Juneau was struck again, this time by a torpedo from Japanese submarine I-26. The torpedo likely hit the thinly armored light cruiser at or near the ammunition magazines and the ship exploded and quickly sank.. Eight days after the sinking, ten survivors were found by a PBY Catalina search aircraft and retrieved from the water. The survivors reported that Frank, Joe and Matt died instantly, Al drowned the next day, and George survived for four or five days, before suffering from delirium as a result of hypernatremia.
