There are some surface abrasions and tiny stains spots in the margins, most noticeable in the top margin; otherwise, this wonderful Pan Am airline travel map poster of South America with great colors is in near mint condition with no noticeable defects and should display beautifully once framed.
This wonderfully detailed and charming pictorial map poster from Pan American Airways depicts the airline's routes along the western and eastern coasts of Central and South America. National flags of the featured countries line the bottom border.
Pan American's Flying Clipper Ships were the premier long-range flying boats of the 1930s and early 1940s, making this poster a landmark artifact of the golden age of aviation travel. Posters of this type were displayed in travel agencies and PAA offices and are among the most sought-after pieces in both aviation and travel poster collecting.
