The "Wings" Akeley Camera
Paramount Pictures is over a hundred years old. They are nearly the oldest continuously operating major motion picture studio. They have had many huge hit movies but to have made the 1928 movie “Wings” is a huge accomplishment. At the very first Academy Awards ceremony “Wings” is the first movie to win an Oscar for best picture. It is an achievement that can never be topped. This camera shot aerials on “Wings”. It's the only camera that can be directly attributed to have worked on “Wings”.

The camera comes with a 14” by 22” “Wings” Poster, Sheet Music, Program, and a photo of William Wellman’s Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. |
While researching this camera and it's owner I came across a wealth of information that I'm excited to pass on to you. There is a wealth of information in the YouTube video. Have fun watching it.
