It features vibrant colors and a striking design that showcases Arizona's beauty. As a genuine piece of airline history, this poster is not only a decorative item but also a significant artifact that tells the story of air travel in the late 1950s and 1960s. TWA (Trans World Airlines) was formed in 1924 as Transcontinental & Western Air. The airline's first route was from New York to Los Angeles, followed by multiple National routes. The airline expanded to serve Europe, the Middle East, and Asia after WWII when the company was under Howard Hughes's owner's control from 1939 until 1961. Hughes was a dominant force in expanding and promoting his company's routes. The economy was vastly improving, and travel by air for business and pleasure increased, too. Posters were a crucial element in promoting this form of travel and TWA. The airline started a decline in the 1970s, ending in a third bankruptcy that caused its acquisition by American Airlines in 2001. The airline operated in 132 destinations worldwide and had a fleet size of 190. This is an Original Lithograph Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. We stand unwaveringly behind the description and condition of the vintage posters shown on our website, so you can be confident in its authenticity. #TWA #TransWorldAirline #visitArizona
