[Milsurplus] Dirigible the 1931 movie

[Marty Reynolds]

Was on TCM Tuesday

Very excellent display of aeronautics & electronics of era.

Frisky Pierce's Army biplane  had an unidentified  Western Electric
2-way radio phone.  Great shot of an idling Fokker triplane.  And
the insides of the dirigible Los Angeles.  Etc, etc

Plus footage of a new "Plane Carrier" & a Navy biplane deck launch.
The acft. was tagged "Lexington 4."  A follow-on google search
turned up a photo match on the "plane carrier's" center sail.  It
was the Lexington, CV-2, that was lost @ Coral Sea 12 years later.
Sad story told at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Lexington_(CV-2)

Has Fay Wray in the cast, but no monkey
