Of all the stories that could be made about sports figures into Hollywood films, perhaps the tale of Billy Fiske is the most intriguing. He won a gold medal in 1932, built the first ski lifts in the remote town of Aspen, Colorado, and then died a hero in the earliest days of WWII as a fighter pilot for the RAF, before America even joined the fight. The offered 1932 image captures Fiske in his bobsled and wearing his Olympic jersey during the happiest times of his life. A powerful reminder of the cost of WWII, the photo presents well in great shape.
