A rectangular poster with images of famous aviators such as Lindbergh, Chamberlin, Brock and Byrd each inside of their own oval. Lindbergh's picture is located in the center of all of the pictures and is the largest. Below the pictures is an image of the Earth looking down on the North Pole. Stretching across the continents are multiple orange lines with varying patterns. Each line represents a famous flight. To the left of Mexico there is a small legend that identifies each route, who flew it, the distance and the year that is was flown. Below the image of the North Pole is a map of Central America. This map has an orange line denoting the route that Lindbergh took on his tour of Latin America. The map also features a legend showing altitude relevant to shades on the map. Inset in the bottom left corner of this map is a map of the continental United States with an orange line showing Lindbergh's route of his tour of the United States.
