Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad that wants you to take your next flight on one of their 707’s or 720’s. The top picture in the ad shows a mother and her relaxed daughter reading the book Alice in Wonderland as they make a smooth flight on a Boeing 707 Jet. The text describes the flight as “Softly, surely and oh so smoothly” with a subtle reference to the speed of 600 miles per hour. It claims that already more than 270,000 passengers have flown on these jets and calls the Boeing 707 “the most popular new airliner in aviation history”. It mentions that the 720 is designed as being a shorter-range plane and gives a list of the many airlines that have ordered one or the other of these planes.
