This great World War II era Vintage Ad was printed in a 1945 issue. These are wonderful advertisements, and we only have a limited number available.
Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
The touch of tomorrow in the planes of today
Load for a Landing on Nippon
Into the spacious hold of the Packet will go
lethal cargoes-destination Japan.
Guns, light tanks, shells, trucks or paratroopers; material and men for victory in the
Pacific will be air-borne in the Army's “flying
boxcar," the new cargo carrier designed by
Fairchild and built by Fairchild and North
American Aviation.
The Packet, first airplane produced specifically
for cargo transport, can carry up to nine
tons. Its range, with lighter loads, is more
than 3,500 miles.
Forty-two paratroopers with full equipment
can be “delivered" through two jump doors in
the stern, clear of any obstruction. An ingenious
device sends equipment parachuting
through special doors in the belly, simultaneously with each paratrooper's jump.
The Packet is loaded with extreme ease. Its
fuselage floor is level and at standard truck-floor height. Cargo capacity is 2,312 cubic feet
-about 88 per cent of the capacity of a standard railroad boxcar.
This all-metal, twin engine, flying boxcar
possesses characteristics inherent in all Fairchild
products, “the touch of tomorrow in the
planes of today." With but minor modifications it will become an efficient and profitable
carrier of cargo in peacetime commerce, the
flying boxcar of the new air age.

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
