This lot includes 3 original vintage silver gelatin photographs (approximately 5x7 inches each), showcasing commercial aviation from the propeller era.

Photo 1: A Trans World Airlines (TWA) Douglas DC-3 flying low in the background, passing over a distinctive roadside sign reading AIRPLANE CROSSING - STOP - LOOK - LISTEN, with a smaller New York City Dept. of Parks sign below. This is believed to depict a public roadway near LaGuardia Field (LaGuardia Airport) in its early years, when an approach path passed close to a public road managed by the NYC Parks Department.

Photo 2: A dramatic close-up publicity photo of the nose of a Pan American World Airways aircraft with a distinctive double-bubble fuselage, lettered CLIPPER UNDAUNTED, with the number 857 marked on a nose gear door. Pan Am named its aircraft Clipper [Name] across its fleet history; this is a named Pan Am Clipper aircraft of the type used on Pan Am's long-haul routes.

Photo 3: A dramatic underside view of a twin-engine propeller airliner flying directly overhead against a cloudy sky, with a period civil aircraft registration (NC-prefix, indicating a pre-1948 US registration) visible on the wing, and markings suggesting American Airlines.

A wonderful set for collectors of vintage aviation, airline history, and mid-century commercial air travel memorabilia.
