AIRLINE ADVERTISING FROM THE OLD DAYS

 AIRLINE ADVERTISING FROM THE OLD DAYS

This blog covers almost all subject to do with aviation old and new. Advertising is one thing I decided to keep as the years went by. This advert is of TWA and around the1980's. 

AIRLINES EARLY HISTORY

TWA's corporate history dates from July 16, 1930, and the forced merger of Transcontinental Air Transport (TAT), Western Air Express (WAE), Maddux Air Lines, Standard, and Pittsburgh Aviation Industries Corporation (PAIC) to form Transcontinental & Western Air (T&WA) on 1 Oct.

They then became TWA which we all know stands for Trans World Airways (or Try Walking Across)

This picture above is of a TWA 747 I took at Gatwick, hopefully offering the service as advertised above. I love the old days and if you do please comment below.

I watch Columbo and there an ending scene of two TWA Boeing 747 in the globe livery. Ransom for a Dead Man 1971. But that is a story for another day.
