Collection Spotlight: Vintage Travel

Domestic air travel soared in popularity during the 1950s and 1960s due to the post-World War II economic boom and introduction of more commercial flights. During that time, air travel became an attractive and convenient mode of transportation for individuals and families. Additionally, the glamorous and sophisticated travel experience, characterized by spacious cabins and attentive service, added to the allure and appeal.
