Description
Full color 10″ x 13 1/2″ ad for the Boeing 720 which is called the “World’s Newest Jetliner”. The ad has a photograph of a Boeing 720 that is being directed towards a parking area by a ground crewman who is signaling with lighted wands. The ad describes it as being “new, sleek and fast” and it is “designed specially to serve cities not now on the jet-travel map, as well as major centers”. It is claimed that these jets will travel at over 600 miles an hour and that they can operate easily from shorter runways. It is claimed that United Air Lines will be the first to put these 720s in service.
