Description: Excellent short magazine article rescued from a damaged February 1955 issue of Sports Illustrated. Buyer receives one double sided page and one single side page that relate to this specific article. Titled "THE SPORT THAT'S THE MOSTEST" is an article with photos of the Navy BLUE ANGELS. The beautiful photos of the planes in formation were taken by Coles Phinizy. The article begins: The supersonic age has produced a new and remarkable sport: fast and close acrobatic flying in jet planes. It is the most expensive and exclusive of sports.It is also the most exacting and dangerous. A few of the millions who see the Navy's flying Blue Angels enjoying this acrobatic sport at weekly air showswould like to try it themselves, but will never get the chance. In fact, at present there are no jets available to civilians. Moreover, rarely anyone could afford to pay either the $400,000 cost of one of the Blue Angels' supersonic Grumman Cougar jets or $1.50 a minute for fuel. I'll place the two pages inside a plastic sleeve and add a piece of white foam board for protection, while mailing by USPS Ground Advantage.
