Wings and the Woman
Original vintage cinema poster for the American release of the British film Wings and the Woman (They Flew Alone), produced and directed by Herbert Wilcox in 1942, starring Anna Neagle and Robert Newton. The true-life drama of the girl who defied convention to challenge the skies – who blazed the trail for the bombers – who was all woman, warm and loving, under the uniform which became her badge of courage ... and her robe of glory! Thrill as you see what women with wings are doing to win the war! Great image of Anna Neagle as the aviator Amy Johnson wearing a pilot overall and cap saluting while looking up at propeller planes flying by in a dark cloudy sky, an image of her smoking a cigarette with Robert Newton as Jim Mollison, the text above the RKO Radio Pictures logo and the stylised title text across the sky in bright yellow letters. Good condition, restored losses and repaired tears on the right side, folds and minor stains.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.
