to Bagdad by Middle East Airlines poster, early 1960s

 


Probably not a destination much in demand these days. These show de Havilland Comet 4Cs of which the airline acquired four in December 1960.  The airline began after WW2 and BOAC had an involvement with it from 1949 to August 1961. A merger with Air Liban in June 1963 gave Air France a 30% holding, since relinquished.
