Reach for the Sky Children’s Art.

This artwork is dedicated to my son, who at the age five, seemed to have a predetermined destination to become an aviator. He created this costume outfit out of cardboard and aluminum foil after seeing the 1991 movie “The Rocketeer”. As a parent, it has been an honor to watch him grow up, dream big, and reach for the sky! May all your child’s dreams come true!

“The Rocketeer” Movie Plot: In 1938 Los Angeles, California, gangsters from Eddie Valentine’s gang steal a prototype rocket pack from aviation magnate Howard Hughes. During their escape from the pursuing police, the getaway driver quickly stops and hides the rocket in a Curtiss JN Jenny biplane cockpit at an airfield. As the chase continues, stunt pilot Cliff Secord’s yellow and black Gee Bee Z monoplane is destroyed, dashing his air-racing career hopes. Film star Neville Sinclair has hired Valentine’s gang to steal the rocket, and sends his monstrous henchman Lothar to find its location. Meanwhile, Cliff and his airplane mechanic, Peevy, find the rocket and begin testing it…

… (Eventually) Cliff flies to and boards Luxembourg, but during the ensuing showdown, Jenny accidentally starts a fire with a flare gun on the airship’s bridge. Sinclair holds Jenny hostage, forcing Cliff to give him the rocket, but not before Cliff covertly removes the chewing gum patching the fuel leak. Sinclair dons the rocket and flies off, but the leaking fuel causes the rocket to catch on fire, leading him to crash into the Hollywood Hills. Crashing into the “LAND” of the “HOLLYWOODLAND” sign, Sinclair perishes in a fiery explosion. Lothar is killed as Luxembourg explodes, but Cliff and Jenny are rescued just in time by Howard Hughes and Peevy flying a Pitcairn PCA-2 autogyro.
