"Fly the Finest…" Poster, Trans World Airlines

The signature design style of the distinctive three-finned tail says it all: Trans World Airlines "owned" the Lockheed Constellation. Other airlines flew it, but TWA had commissioned the airplane and flew the largest Constellation fleet. Using these airplanes, TWA continually improved its transcontinental service. In 1953 the airline instituted its Ambassador Service, which offered nonstop flights from Los Angeles to New York.
