Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. New, in publisher's original boxes. Unopened and unread; however there may be some light rubbing to covers and corners resulting from thirty years in storage. A bright, lovely copy containing many gorgeous full-page illustrations. This book was mentioned in Jimmy Buffett's 1998 memoir: "One of my best liked books in this shelf is called Poster Art of the Airlines, and it contains Art Deco posters and magazine ads for the Pan American Clippers and other great flying boats that are no more. My favorite page depicts a Clipper touching down in the lagoon of Bora Bora in French Polynesia."
