Nungesser "The Sky Raider"

Two films have been released (in their own time) about Charles Nungesser, referenced as :

Sky Raider, The (Associated 1925, Silent) D: T Hayes Hunter. Charles Nungesser = himself, Jacqueline Logan = Lucille Ward, Gladys Walton = Marie, Walter Miller = Paul Willard. Screenplay: Gerald C Duffy. Filmed at Roosevelt Field NY, but action is supposed to be WW1 France, loosely based war ace Nungesser's exploits. Curtiss JN-4 camera plane.
AIRCRAFT: Nieuport 12, Hanriot HD-1, Thomas-Morse (as Germans).

and

The Sky Raider 1931
WWI- Biography of Charles Nungesser using Thomas-Morse S4.C's as German types, Nungesser's own Hanriot HD-1 (?)

do you know if any video or DVD copies of them are available ? and if someone had the chance to see any of them I will be glad to here any comment on them !

Thanks a lot.

Hi TM:

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the 1925 "Sky Raider" movie with Nungesser playing himself has been lost through the times. *Since it was a silent movie, most likely it was cast aside and lost when the "talkies" arrived. *No known copy of this film exists. *To my knowledge, there are no still photographs from the movie that exist either. *I'm guessing that the 1931 movie is the same as the 1925 movie. ???

Cheers,
Amy
