This is a 1955 Pan Am calendar from the pre jet era back when airlines such as Pan American World Airways were flying aircraft such as the Lockheed Constellation, Douglas DC-6B and even the famous DC-3 on some of smaller routes. It has 12 seperate pages running from January to December of '55. Each month has a seperate color photo at the top of the calendar page of a Pan American destination. Photos include places such as Jamaica, Germany, Chile, Alaska, Hawaii (Waikiki Beach in it's early days) and Japan. At the bottom of each page is a small drawing showing a either a DC-6 (called "The Super-6" or "The Rainbow"), a Boeing Statocrusier (called "The President Special" or "The President"), or even an illustration of Pan Am's famous world travel book, "New Horizons" (shown for three months). The dimensions are somewhat large being 24" x 17". Calendar is in good to very good condition considering it's age. However, t a some small tears on a few pages particularly on the last page, December. Also, the metal eyelet hook on the top of the page is broke. Some pages are slightly yellowed, but perhaps this helps enhance the ambiance of the whole calendar. This airliner artifact is from the days when flying was still an adventure, was still expensive to fly somew and everybody dressed up when going to the airport whether you were flying or read more
