Not bored by these 'boards
1935, when an enterprising fellow could buy a couple of biplanes and start his own sky writing business. Exquisite aerial photography, fascinating information, and occasionally breath-taking shots of sky writing in progress.
Who isn't awe-struck by 300-foot letters written 2 miles high - by airplanes? Very well made, quite watchable, especially for the time.
