Description
Full color 9 3/4″ x 13 3/4″ ad that is for what the Boeing Aircraft Company was doing at that time. The picture in the ad has a drawing of a Boeing 707 plane being flown across a globe that has the names of 14 different aviation companies etched into the left-side of the circle. The ad headline promises that “Soon leading airlines, flying Boeing jetliners, will cut your travel time in half!”. It then says that “Within a few months now, you can enjoy travel so excitingly different it will give new meaning to time and distance. In Boeing 707’s, flown by leading airlines, you’ll cross continents and seas in half the time required by conventional aircraft. The U.S. will be only four and a half hours wide; the Atlantic, six. You could make a round trip to Europe in a day! Whatever your destination, you’ll arrive rested and refreshed, for travel aboard a Boeing jetliner is incredibly smooth, quiet and completely free of fatiguing vibration. You’ll relax in a cabin more spacious, more luxuriously appointed than any now aloft. In addition, you’ll cruise through calm upper skies, far above the weather. Aboard the superb Boeing 707 – or its shorter-range sister ship, the 720 – you’ll be flying in the most thoroughly flight-tested craft ever to enter commercial service”.
