Description
Full color 10″ x 14″ ad for Pan American Airline that tries to assure you of the safety you will have in one of their Clipper flights due to the experience of their pilots. There is a drawing by Rockwell of Master Pilot John Mattis of Pan American being stared at with awe by a young boy who is carrying a PAA carry-on bag. The headline tells us that the pilot has “Eyes that see around the world” and the text talks about the number of over-ocean flights these pilots have made, the number of qualified pilots that will be on each flight, the number of on-the-ground employees Pan Am uses to make everyone safe and the number of offices they have around the world. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
