A Gay Geography of the Main Line Airway.

No place. United Air Lines, 1938. Page size: 10 ½ x 9 ¾.”. Very good. Item #3786

Closely following the vibe of Ruth Taylor's popular Our U.S.A., A Gay Geography, this delightful inflight souvenir from United Air Lines seeks to connect the passengers in the spiffy DC-3 airliner with the countryside below. The booklet opens to seven pages of delightful strip maps measuring 10 ½ x 19 ½" each that span the country from New York City to San Francisco.

Taylor's colorful and witty cartoon illustrations are accompanied by travelogue-style text relative to the geography and history of the areas 15,000 feet below.

So, relax and enjoy your flight, and please, no smoking during takeoff.
