Vintage Aviation School Ad

Another adventure-themed vintage ad, this time for the Aviators Preparatory Institute. This was scanned from a 1926 almanac and would make a good filler for a faux newspaper clipping or magazine page. Click through for the high resolution version.



In case you were curious, here's what 475 Fifth Ave in New York City looks like today. The building faces the front steps of the New York Public Library.

ahh. I've been looking for 1926 vintage ads to include in an upcoming prop, and what do I find? My old friend Propnomicon. thanks very much, this is perfect for a period piece set in 1926. Uncanny, really.
