Do you have the air adventure starring a character called "3 Star?" Also looking for a feature-length 1930's British WW1 pic called "Ghost Squadron," with lots of SE5A's and maybe starring Basil Rathbne. These werre played many times on the old "Million Dollar Movie" on Channel 9 in NY in the 1950's.
