This great World War II era Vintage Ad was printed for the February, 1943 issue. These are wonderful advertisements, and we only have a limited number available.
Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Call it Lightning
-say the pilots
Nobody had time to name this Lockheed
fighter plane when it was born. They just
called it by a number, P-38.
Then the pilots sent it climbing over
eight miles straight toward the stratosphere,
up where even the highest-flying bombers
couldn't go. They brought it screaming down
out of the clouds like forked vengeance. They
jammed down the throttle and it flew faster
than any fighter ever flew before. They pressed
the trigger-button and saw how concentrated
fire-power from its cannons and machine
guns could rip apart anything on wings-and
there was only one name for it: Lightning.
So that's its name, a name it earned
from British and American pilots alike, a
name to watch: Lockheed Lightning. Lockheed

A great Vintage Ad!
You pick your frame color, and you pick your mat color. We will mat and frame your Vintage Ad per your request and send it to you promptly. All you have to do is remove it from the box and hang it on the wall in your home, office, garage, man cave, or showroom!
We mat and frame original, vintage magazine ads...they are in good condition, but may not be perfect as they are many decades old. Frame outside dimensions are 15" x 12", and matted ad is approximately 9-5/8" x 6-5/8" (could be slightly different, depending on ad).
Frames and vintage ads are actual as shown, and mat is computer generated for online viewing. Actual mat is custom cut for each individual ad and mat color will be similar to the colors shown on the website. “Travel Route 3 Scan” watermark is placed on the ad for online viewing only, and is not part of the final product. Back side of Vintage Ad is glued to backing paper so that it continues to display flat over time. Here is what you will receive:
- New frame
- New mat
- New glass
- Vintage Ad
