Replica cockpit panel attributed to one of the four planes used in the 1957 film Spirit of St. Louis starring James Stewart as Charles Lindbergh. The panel measures 36 x 20.5 and features aeronautical instruments replicating those used in Lindbergh’s famous transatlantic aircraft. In very good condition, with overall soiling and mildew. From the collection of David D. Jameson, a WWII bomber pilot who served as vice president of the Experimental Aircraft Association; accompanied by a 2007 letter from his son, stating, “An avid aircraft owner and pilot for many years, he possessed replicas of the Winnie May and the Spirit of St. Louis. In fact, his Spirit was one of four planes used in the 1957 movie starring Jimmy Stewart, and was the only replica flown by Lindbergh himself. The control console from the movie plane is still in his possession.” Also accompanied by copies of newspaper articles describing Jameson’s collection of planes, with specific mentions of his replica of the Spirit of St. Louis as having been one of those used in the film.
