On this day in 1951 (in the U.S.), Lost Planet Airmen enjoyed its theatrical debut. Directed by Fred C. Brannon from a story by Royal K. Cole, William Lively, and Sol Shor, the film starred Tristram Coffin, Mae Clarke, Don Haggerty, and others.
According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"Young member of scientific group uses new rocket-powered flying suit to thwart shadowy saboteur known only as "Dr. Vulcan"."
Editor's Note:
Technically, Lost Planet Airmen had been seen before but in a vastly different format. In 1949, the 12-chapter Republic serial King Of The Rocket Men took to the silver screen; and this re-issue was a 65-minute trimmed down version intended for a single viewing.
