Full color 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad that gave the general public an idea what The AIrlines of the United States were doing to help the war effort. The ad contains a drawing that shows us two white-haired gentlemen in fatigues looking out of a tent at night, past a soldier on sentry duty, at an airplane that is either taking off or landing. The headline calls this scene "Somewhere West of Suez" and the text explains that these planes were involved in transporting "the greatest gathering of military leaders in history" to a secret council of war, "almost in the enemy's camp". It goes on to say that planes are now able to allow global face-to-face meetings between important people to plan actions and to make the supplying of troops entirely possible in a scope never thought of before. |

Black and white 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" wartime ad for Boeing - Designers Of The Flying Fortress. This ad has a close-up of the landing gear of a Flying Fortress with a soldier standing on the wheel as he is working on something above. The ad headline says that we are "All set for an eighty-ton punch on the nose". In then says that "In a perfect three-point landing, the landing gear must resist a force equal to the full weight of the airplane. In a moderately bad landing, the impact may double the force to be resisted. On a very bad one the force may be more than tripled. Try these figures on a 25-ton airplane - a Boeing Flying Fortress, for example - and you will see why the landing gear has to be able to take it, and take it, and take it. The design and development of landing gear is part of Boeing engineering history. More than 18 years ago, Boeing developed the first oil-hydraulic airplane shock absorber. This type of shock absorber is now in use on all large commercial and military airplanes, including the Flying Fortress. That the landing gear of the Fortress can take it has been proved many times in severe drop tests made by the Army Air Forces at Wright Field...and in landings, equally severe, made at other fields - from Hawaii to the British Isles". This ad goes on with more talk about the landing gear. |

He's visiting Washington, 600 miles away. He's flying, of course; it's only a 2 1/2 hour trip in a Douglas DC-6...". Next, he is "In Washington he has luncheon with an important official. It may lead to a big order. Then he calls on another executive to close a deal that's been pending (that's the contract going into his briefcase). His business over, Jack heads back home in another giant DC-6...". It always seems like "Old friends meet when Jack spies Bill Robertson in the club-like lounge of the luxurious DC-6. So many businessmen fly these days that Jack would be surprised if he didn't see someone he knew. They chat over a fine complementary dinner, while the miles quickly slip by...". Then, it's time for "A full evening at home is ahead for Jack. 'What an improvement over the old way!' he says. 'I do more and I'm less tired. And no more of those lonely, boring nights 'on the road'. Eva and Jimmy are just as happy. 'No more lonely evenings for us, either,' smiles Eva".

Piper travel is quiet, smooth...especially comfortable, because Piper insists on roominess...expecially safe, because Piper has always stressed the design of docile, "honest" airplanes that take care of you. That's why it's not so fantastic for you to consider your own or company-owned Piper. (Hundreds of thousands of people fly for business and pleasure.) Quite often the advantages to your business alone will justify a Piper...because this fast, flexible, no timetable transportation lets you go faster and more often to places where business is brewing or stewing...faster and more often, too, to your favorite vacation or holiday spot".

| United Air Lines |
Full color 9 3/4" x 14" ad that advertises United Air Lines. This ad starts off with a picture of a man standing by two friends, holding his hands about four feet apart, as he is standing in front of a wall with several fish hung on it and a shelf full of trophies. The headline says that "Charlie Smathers drove 250 miles on his vacation" and, next to this is a picture of a garage with a car in it and the caption here says that "This car was never out of the garage". The text says that "When you want trout, you go where the trout hang out. And no scheduled airline can take you right to the edge of that remote mountain stream. But Charlie untangled that snag. He simply asked his Travel Agent to handle the whole trip. First they put him aboard a big United Jet (charged the ticket on his United Personal Travel Credit Card). Then he polished off a six-course sirloin steak lunch. He took a short nap. When he awoke at his destination, there was the rent-a-car his Travel Agent had reserved for him (charged that, too). Charlie just piled his gear in the car and headed for that stream. Now he's home, proud ad punch, after discovering a new part of America...without backing his own car out of the garage. All thanks to the airline which flies to more of America, more often, with more jets, than any other. Charlie loves to brag about United. Between fish stories, that is". |

| United Air Lines |
Full color 10" x 13" ad for the airline that advertises The Friendly Skies. There is a picture of a couple floating peacefully on a pair of surfboards in a very quiet body of water with the caption saying "Let's get away from it all". The text talks about stamping out "dull vacations" and mentions some of the many places that United can take you to. It also talks about the United Personal Travel Credit Card that could be used to charge all of the items that were worked out with your travel agent. |

| Western Airlines |
Black and white 9 1/2" x 13" ad for the airline that covered the West Coast of America. The headline asks "Isn't it 'in' to be western?" and answers with a positive "Completely". There are pictures of sights to be seen in the West and a map that shows the routes that this airline maintained. The text claims that they have "The finest jets. The snapiest service. The best on-time record" and if any other "best" categories come up, they will get them too. |

| XSB2C-1 |
Full color 9 1/2" x 13" ad for Camel Cigarettes that has a photo of Test Pilot Bill Ward and several photos of the "Navy's new dive-bombing sensation" in action. This ad came from the back cover and has some worn in grime. The ad is also larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view. |
