Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for travel to Europe on a Pan American Clipper. There is a picture of a member of the crew of one of these planes checking on the welfare of a mother and her young daughter who are comfortably sleeping in the First-Class section. The headline promises that “Europe is only a dream away – when Uncle Sam’s your skipper” and the caption talks about Sleeperette service with berths being only $55 extra. The reference to Uncle Sam being your skipper in the headline is explained in the text when the claim is made that “Pan American meets Uncle Sam’s strictest rules of airline operation with a generous margin to spare”. The text also mentions that other airlines may travel to Europe but Pan American specializes in it.
