Hollywood producers of a documentary on Prohibition in South Florida is looking for any
relatives of Harcourt Brown of Bimini Island in The Bahamas who might be able to talk about the role
Chalk Airlines played during those years.

They are also seeking any old photos or artifacts from the Prohibition era as well.

It
was a time when Pappy Chalk founder of Chalk Airlines and a gentleman
from Bimini, Harcourt Brown, would work as a team to import rum from the
Bahamas into the U.S.  The net result of the whole operation was that
Chalk's became the first regularly scheduled airline to operate in the
U.S. starting in 1919.
