Description
Black and white 5 1/4″ x 13 1/2″ ad which states that “Fairville Prepares for Post-War Flying” in this ad for Piper Cubs. I do not know if there is even a town named Fairville but the ad wants us to think so. Quoting the ad it says “After victory you can land in your peacetime Piper Cub at Fairville and countless other towns which are building landing facilities today. These communities are looking ahead to the coming air age – providing flying facilities for their sons and daughters upon their return from the Service – guaranteeing themselves a prosperous future”. There is then a quote from the mayor of Fairville who says “Our landing area in Fairville is very modest – just a simple, straight sod strip. This is the sensible way to start – as long as there is ample room for expansion when air traffic warrants”. It then mentions several booklets that your town or whatever should request. “What Your Town Needs For The Coming Air Age” as well as “Piper Cub…In War And In Peace” is another.
