Theda Bara on the set of the lost 1917 Fox film CLEOPATRA. Controversial for its shockingly scant costumes, the film was often censored or banned outright in many markets.

Theda Bara and William Fox launched lawsuits in Chicago alleging slander when a chief censor there ruled the film violated public morality. "Miss Bara writhes and hootchey-kootcheys in raiment cut so suggestively that she would be much more modestly garbed in the n**e, to my way of thinking. She is coarsely and unnecessarily wanton," film critic Mae Tinee wrote in the Chicago Tribune.

The film was immensely popular and played as a road show for several years. No copies are known to exist today. (Vamps and Flappers of the 1910s, 1920s, and Early 1930s)

The F4U was able to carry up to a total of eight rockets, or four under each wing. It was able to carry up to four thousand pounds of explosive ordnance. This helped the Corsair take on a fighter bomber role, giving it a more versatile role as a ground support aircraft as well as a fighter.

P-51C 43-25147 / N487FS “Princess Elizabeth” was previously owned by The Fighter Collection in the UK and registered as G-PSIC. First flying in the UK in 1997, she then underwent an extensive restoration to stock P-51C configuration in both the US and the UK from 1998-2005. Following the restoration progress at Duxford became a regular highlight during visits over the years until she flew again in 2005.

After two seasons in the UK she was sold to Jim Beasley and returned to the US in early 2007. Sold on to Comanche Fighters in 2008, she returned to Duxford from May-July 2013.

A publicity photo of flapper extraordinaire Colleen Moore from around 1926.

Moore said, "I do know I was drawn to the flappers. I shared their restlessness, understood their determination to free themselves of the Victorian shackles of the pre-World War I era and find out for themselves what life was all about.”

Although Clara Bow and Louise Brooks may be better remembered today, in the 20s Moore was considered the paragon of flapperdom and helped popularize the bobbed hairdo more than almost anyone else.

Moore retired from film in the 1930s and had a successful career as an investment analyst.(Vamps and Flappers of the 1910s, 1920s, and Early 1930s)
