Celebrity Photo Op of the Day: 4/29/08 (apologies to Mycroft)

[Fletch]

Movie actress Bebe Daniels and Lt. Col. Henry "Hap" Arnold in front of a Boeing P-12 at Long Beach, Calif., October 30, 1932.

When people say the Golden Era will never come back again...this is what they mean.
Our stars will never have that quiet elegance, our warriors that easy nonchalance, our airplanes that reach-out-and-touch-it immediacy of wires and the wind.
