Issued as an advertisement in a magazine, with summary of the air age, and how it applies to our world view. Mankind is no longer dependent on water or land to travel, so those elements are removed from the map. And what you are left with is a totally different take on who your neighbors are. Showing just city names and their approximate distance, it is a new view that would change everything. Date estimated. Map 23 x 23 cm, on sheet 36 x 26 cm. "Reprints of this advertisement available upon request. Address American Airlines, Inc. Dept. 'B.' New York Airport Station, New York." (See Pub List No. 11632.000 for reprint copy.)
