　　The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum draws more

visitors than any other museum in the world—90,000 a day in the

summertime—and the exhibit of air travel posters featured in this

unique companion volume combines arresting, colorful art, rare

archival material, and a unique approach to aeronautical history.

The posters—most of them never before published—feature

barnstormers, gliders, and flying boats, the earliest passenger

flights, the first luxury-liners, mail carriers, jets, and much

more. Spanning a century and a half, they combine the popular art

and the commerce of their eras, with both explored in the

entertaining, informative text by a longstanding National Air and

Space Museum curator. From 19th-century circus impresarios offering

rides in gaudy hot-air balloons to the sleek 21st-century

airliners, the posters provide a fascinating illustrated history of

flight as it evolved from an exotic realm inhabited only by

visionaries and daredevils into our modern world of speedy jets and

frequent flyers—no longer extraordinary, perhaps, but still echoing

with the exhilarating thrill and glamorous excitement captured

here.

Countless visitors to the museum’s traveling poster exhibition

and the permanent exhibition "America by Air" will delight in the

gorgeous and wonderful graphics collected in this appealing,

affordable book—and so will aviation buffs, armchair travelers, and

poster connoisseurs everywhere.
