Date |
1943 or 1944 |
Description |
"I believe the photos of Laurel and Hardy were taken because of the filming of the Big Noise at the Monrovia Airport in 1944. I have a color photo from a slide that shows Oliver Hardy, Albert Blackburn, Bud Hanser, and Stan Laurel with the Monrovia Airport Hanger in the background with a Blue convertible that was used in the filming in the background. The plane in the background is a Waco Cabin; the old mechanic later said the plane was being repaired, which is why the wings are off. It started on fire by accident; the right wing was on fire on the ground.The photos were taken because Blackburn, the owner had allowed the filming of the film at Monrovia Airport that he owned." Info from Gary Boen. Dates are approximate; film was released in 1944. |
