Air Travel Brochure, "How to Get the Maximum Enjoyment Out of Your Flight," circa 1928
Add to SetSummary
Flying was a new experience for Americans in the late 1920s. Stout Air Services offered relatively inexpensive tour flights to attract new passengers. This brochure calmed the nerves of first-time flyers. Passengers were assured that "the pilot always banks when turning," "the air supports the plane like the ocean supports a ship," and "dizziness is unknown in airplanes."
