Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 12 1/2″ wartime ad for what many of the pilots and the pre-war commercial planes were doing to aid the war effort. There is a drawing of a twin-prop plane, with number NC 21320 on it’s wing, flying in the evening sky as the headline introduces “A day in my life by NC 21320”. The text talks about the number of trips made and the passengers carried being double what was done before the war and talks about some of the types of passengers and loads it was asked to carry. It talks about how the airlines had lain the groundwork for this situation in the earlier days which has made this transition very easy and practical. It ends by offering some advice about ways to help make your trip or shipment easier and suggests as always that you “Buy EXTRA WAR BONDS this month”.
