September 2, 2015: Well, certainly not today in the air — where standards and passenger care-comfort have slipped to all time lows.
But, if you want a view of what once was called “the golden age” of air travel, pick up a copy of “Airline Visual Identify” and enjoy a showcase of 100’s of airline posters from 1945-1975. This includes the beginning of the jet age, the Concorde, and Boeing’s first passenger jets up to the 747 — still the best and most comfortable long haul jet in the sky. Domestic and international carriers are featured in this 430 page visual trek with more than 400 really cool images. These were the days when airlines focused on image and customer care — shamefully not very evident these days!!!
