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:
Air Map
THE WAR is forcing great changes in
the lives of people all over the earth.
Some are temporary; others will remain.
The greatest permanent change will result
from the increasing use of air as a realm for
transportation. Therefore unnumbered
millions of persons are re-studying geography.
But there is no map of the invisible air.
***
The land and sea miles that separate places
remain the same. But airplanes cancel the
surface barriers and change the proximity of
places. Inevitably, as all peoples continue (o
become closer neighbors, they will have a
more direct influence upon each other. No
phase of our lives will be immune to the
effects of this new propinquity.
***
The air map above shows nothing but the
names and locations of places. As our guide
we use a polar projection map.
Next. we remove all surface “pictures" of
lands and waters, in order to emphasize the
essence of what aviation means. Air is not
divided into many different parts as are continents
and oceans. Air is one unit. boundaryless
and universal.
***
Air is much larger than all waters and lands
combined, and is avajlable alike to all inland
and coastal places, everywhere. Therefore
we believe air is the dominant realm for
transportation. We know that there will always
be need for ships, trains and motor
vehicles, but we believe that the relative
value and effectiveness of all surface methods
will be determined according to how
well we use what only air transportation
makes possible.
Fortunately for our nation's war effort. the
United States has the world's greatest system
of Airlines. As one part of their war-work.
they are operating numerous new routes to
many foreign lands. Another part is the
maintenance of an even better air transportation
service on the home production front.
Great as are these contributions to date, in
order to win, Air Transportation must
shoulder much more of the war burden.
***
But our air efforts must not relax with victory.
Immediate development and expansion
of America's aviation is necessary also in
order to protect our nation at the Peace Conference.
Then, either use will be dominant in
the air-or we will be dominated in the postwar,
air-world.
