The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's air travel poster collection is showcased in this volume, combining colorful art, rare archival material, and a unique approach to aeronautical history.
The posters—most of them never before published—feature barnstormers, gliders, and flying boats, the earliest passenger flights, the first luxury-liners, mail carriers, jets, and much more.
The posters are a fascinating illustrated history of flight as it evolved from an exotic realm inhabited only by visionaries and daredevils into our modern world of speedy jets and frequent flyers.
