    Before World War II, Pan American did not have to boast that it was the "world's most experienced airline." But by the late 1940s, competition from TWA and other airlines affected the direction of Pan Am's advertising. In this 1951 poster, the airplane featured— Pan Am's newest "Clipper Ship," the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser— is almost incidental. Drawn to scale with some detail, the airplane nonetheless pales in comparison with the stunning Scandinavian fjord.
