As a collector of Abbott & Costello since 1980, I have ONLY seen the 1953 Re-release one sheets for this title, NEVER an original 1941  One Sheet. With Gorgeous vintage movie art of larger than life images of Bud and Lou and WWII fighter planes flying above, this is the ONE that has eluded Abbott & Costello collectors.   

NOTE: To give you an idea of another rare Abbott & Costello poster of which also only Two are known to exist,  a "Who Done It" half sheet in need of restoration just sold (May 29, 2021) for $4050. 

UPDATE:  
As a collector of vintage movie poster art since 1980, I had never seen an original 1941 one sheet for this title until this past year.   Based on my research and 40 years experience  that was the only one in existence.   Until this past week when we discovered a second Original Rare poster from this Abbott and Costello title.     

For collectors of vintage cinema, lovers of timeless home décor, and enthusiasts of captivating historical art, this rare treasure is a must-have!   Whether your passion lies in Americana, aviation art, classic comedy, or the unforgettable charm of Abbott & Costello, this piece offers it all in one exquisite find.

Note:   "Keep 'Em Flying"  is one of four films Bud and Lou made in their debut year 1941, their Rookie Year.    They would go on to make 36 more feature movies over the next 15 years, ending with "Dance with Me Henry" in 1956.   Lou would go on to do a solo film in 1959, "The 30 Foot Bride of Candy Rock", that lacked all the magic of the legendary team.  Unfortunately Lou Costello would not get to see his only solo film as he would pass away in March of 1959, before the film was released. . 

Condition:   Prior to professional linen backing this vintage poster had expected fold splits and border tears and tape on back,  but NO missing pieces, stained or damaged artwork as you might expect for an historical  80+ year old poster.   Also, an exciting find for the classic Hollywood, comedy and aviation collector.     The poster has aged like fine wine, which makes it particularly attractive and adds all the aesthetic authenticity you’d expect in an Original from 1941.    This historic Gem has been professionally linen backed, the visible age related flaws restored and now looks Amazing!
