EASY RIDER (1969) - "Captain America" Wyatt's (Peter Fonda) Panhead Chopper Motorcycle - "Captain America" Wyatt's (Peter Fonda) Panhead chopper motorcycle from Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider. In the climactic finale scene, shotgun-wielding yokels attacked Wyatt and Billy (Hopper), crashing Wyatt's signature American flag-patterned motorcycle and ending their freewheelin' ride to New Orleans. This is the crashed motorcycle used for the scene, after the filming of which it was restored to its current state.Considered the iconic counterculture film of the 1960s, Easy Rider was nominated for two Academy Awards®, won a Cannes Film Festival award for Best First Work, and was inducted into the Library of Congress' National Film Registry for its impact on global culture. The motorcycle's destruction was considered a groundbreaking, transgressive representation of widening political fissures between the popular hippie movement of the time and repressive mainstream American culture, and remains one of the most acclaimed sequences ever put to celluloid.Wyatt's motorcycle was originally designed by Cliff Vaughs and Ben Hardy of Watts, CA with design input from Fonda. Two bikes were customized with the "Captain America" (Wyatt's nickname in the film) stars and stripes for the production to prevent filming delays. Following production, one of these motorcycles (along with Hopper's motorcycles) was stolen from stuntman Tex Hall's home. Hall gifted the other Captain America chopper - this bike, with VIN "53FL5070" - to Grizzly Adams star Dan Haggerty, who helped maintain the bikes during production, following its destruction in the crash sequence.Under Haggerty, the motorcycle underwent sympathetic frame-up restoration and was later signed by Fonda to demonstrate its authenticity. David Ohrt also performed additional restoration work after Haggerty sold the motorcycle to a private collector circa 2002. It was then displayed at the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa from 2002 to 2013. Prior to the sale of this original "Captain America" chopper, Haggerty constructed a replica Captain America bike for a vehicle enthusiast. That bike was exhibited as a replica at a public exhibition in the late 1990s; it was not a film-used bike, though Haggerty did install some original film components onto the replica during its build. In order to resolve any confusion as to whether Haggerty's 1994 replica bike was an original, the offered "Captain America" motorcycle has undergone extensive archival review to confirm its stated authenticity. In addition to including a raft of documentation, vintage motorcycle expert Glenn Bator states that the modifications made to this motorcycle are consistent with modifications seen on the motorcycles in the final cut, in particular the repair welds on the frame's down tube between the engine and transmission that reflect damage from impact. Bator also notes that the 1994 example's construction details are not consistent with the motorcycle frames seen onscreen.Therefore, this motorcycle is understood to be the sole remaining Captain America from Easy Rider. It features a Harley-Davidson Panhead overhead-valve engine, a chrome hard-tail frame, VIN "53FL5070," and a sissy bar with the iconic "Captain America" Stars and Stripes emblem painted on the body. The gas tank is autographed and dated "2003" by Fonda in black ink.No warranty is made or implied as to this vehicle's roadworthiness. The lot also comes only with a Bill of Sale, no title. Though it has undergone previous restoration, the motorcycle still exhibits a buildup of grime, discoloration, and scuffed paint. Dimensions: 98" x 40" x 60" (249 cm x 101.5 cm x 152.5 cm)Contains electronic and mechanical components; see notices in the Buyer's Guide.Special shipping required; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.Additional Provenance: 2002 Letter of Authenticity from Dan Haggerty; 2003 Letter of Authenticity from Peter Fonda (Fonda later distanced himself from this authentication on account of the 1994 replica bike controversy); 2014 Letter of Authenticity from Haggerty stating that this exact motorcycle was given to him by stuntman Tex Hall, who in turn received it directly from Fonda, and that it is the only surviving motorcycle from the production; Letter of Authenticity from motorcycle expert Glenn Bator; additional 2013 Letter of Authenticity from the director of the National Motorcycle Museum stating that this motorcycle has been on display at the museum since August 2002; photographs of the vehicle on display at the NMM; and photographs of Fonda signing this vehicle.Estimate: $200,000 - 400,000Bidding for this lot will end on Tuesday, March 12th.

An exceptional T.L.S., John Kent, one page, 8vo, Hartley Witney, Hampshire, 24th June 1969, to Mr. Smith, with the blue printed badge of the RAF at the head. Kent thanks his correspondent for their letter and continues to provide an account of his most anxious moment during World War II, in part, 'It took place over the Thames Estuary on September 23rd 1940 while with 303 Polish Squadron. I had been attacked by a Bf 109 and managed to lose the enemy aircraft by going into cloud base. When I emerged I came out above & behind him. I came down and caught him by surprise racking the whole fuselage with a long burst. I then chased him out over the Channel with smoke pouring from his engine. As we neared Calais I flew alongside of him and looked the pilot in the eye, a very young German with blond hair who looked terrified. This is war I thought and if I let him go he will no doubt go on to kill more of our boys. I then turned and came back in a 60 deg with a short deflection burst into the top of his cockpit, where upon the 109 flipped over and went down into the sea. I can still see that young face today'. A letter of highly emotive content. VG

Portion of a manuscript D.S., Czerwinski, one page, oblong 8vo, n.p., n.d. The document originally formed part of a Combat Report, the manuscript text, in Polish, stating, in part, 'at 12 noon we attacked the front of the enemy's formation, having an altitude and speed advantage.....I fired 2 short series......I didn't see the impact of my attack, as I went immediately down to the left. Pulling the plane back up again, I saw a single Do 17 ahead......I attacked it from the rear, firing three rounds......the E/A's left engine caught on fire I went a bit left and saw the enemy's plane diving. Then our other three planes attacked the same target'. Autographs of Czerwinski are extremely rare in any form as a result of the pilot being killed in action on 22nd August 1942. VG

ALCOCK JOHN: (1892-1919) English pilot, a Captain with the Royal Naval Air Service and Royal Air Force who, with navigator Arthur Whitten Brown, completed the first successful non-stop transatlantic flight, June 1919. An extremely rare A.L.S., Jack (and also 'signed' Capt. J. Alcock in the address panel at the head), two pages (written to the first and third sides of the feint ruled bifolium), Kedos, Ouchak, Turkey, 11th September n.y. (1918), to Captain S. H. Gaskell ('Dear Old Buster'). Alcock writes from the Turkish Prisoner of War camp where he was being held and acknoweldges receipt of his friend's letter ('after all these long months of waiting'), further stating 'Well old bean I was delighted to hear of the successes of my machine, as regards its unfortunate end, I was very relieved to hear that it was no fault of the machine but of some "B" "F" who I should like to meet. Starbuck seems to have been nuts on her, I wish he had been able to have done a little work with it. Hick & Piper arrived here last May & told me of her first trials which bucked me up a lot. Do you happen to know what the Admiralty are doing about her? Well old dear you might let me have news of the R.A.F. re rank, pay & uniform etc. Do you happen to know if I was promoted to Flt. Com. about March or later? as I had a letter from old Ashford (e) dated March 1st congratulating me on my promotion & honour. Before I forget, let me congratulate you on your escape from being my shipmate on the last stunt, also on your Greek honour (what do you call it). I was very surprised at the few they dished out'. Alcock concludes his letter in reasonably high-spirits given his situation, although also demonstrates a hint of the loneliness he must have been experiencing, 'Your sister Violet kindly wrote me a long letter which I received a few days ago. I hope she carries on with the good work for we simply live for the mail. Well old boy, look after yourself & give seaplanes a trial, you will be better off. Love from the "Boys" to all the "Boys" & tell them to write. Send lots of snaps!'. With address panel in Alcock's hand to the final page. Autograph letters of Alcock are extremely rare owing to his tragically early death at the age of 27 following an air crash. Some very light, minimal age wear, about VGOn 30th September 1917 Alcock was piloting a Handley Page bomber on a raid against the Turkish capital Constantinople, when one engine failed. The aircraft managed to limp on for more than 100 kilometres before the other engine quit and it had to be ditched in the sea near Suvla Bay. Alcock and his two crew members swam for about an hour to reach the Ottoman army-held shore, only to be promptly captured. This ended Alcock’s participation in World War I and he spent the next fourteen months as a prisoner of war in Turkey. He was finally released on the Armistice of 11th November 1918, exactly two months to the day after the present letter was written.Alcock was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross 'For the great skill, judgment and dash displayed by him off Moudros.....in a successful attack on three enemy seaplanes, two of which were brought down in the sea', which had occurred earlier on the same fateful day of 30th September 1917.
