In this set I've today uploaded to Flickr:

Airliner adverts from 1940 to 1961 - a set on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/48975048@N06/sets/72157631612178593/)

Clearly, the high hopes of 1959 for the Vanguard were not fulfilled. The DC-5 is all but forgotten now and take a look at one of the Super DC-3 adverts for the sort of artistic licence that no airliner manufacturer today would be allowed to get away with!

The Trade Descriptions Act wasn't around then so adverts were creative! ;)
