"Mail Pilot" (1933) - Air Mail Truck (9 of 20)

As a pilot, I tended to pick up items with an aerospace theme. The 1933 film "Mail Pilot" caught my attention and I ended picking up a number of items from the film. I thought I share the group with you.

A nice item showing the stretch to simulate speed. The sight gag of the old style cannon on the top of the truck is a great addition. Given that the rest of the truck is heavily drawn, my guess is that the cannon is a later add-on

Heavily Armed Mail Truck!
