United Airlines' new DC-7 advertisement, 1954


From the collection of James Vaughan (X-Ray Delta) on which there is this comment by Ed Dempsey: "Seven and a half hours? Maybe so, but they were a lot more enjoyable than the same amount of time we spend getting to the airport in time for security screening, standing in lines to board, waiting on the runway for take off, and being diverted to an airport we didn't plan to go to, so we can catch a cold, noisy, overcrowded BUS to our original destination. We got speed, but what did we have to give up for it?"
