ANONYMOUS AIR FRANCE. 38x241/2 inches. P. Chanove, Courbevoie. Condition B+: creases in image; pinholes in corners; abrasion in top margin. A Dewoitine D-333 is flying through a decorative sunburst, the rays of which extend to colorful images of exotic peoples from around the world (Native Americans, geishas, flamenco dancers, gauchos, caballeros, snake charmers and more) that one could, presumably, encounter at the other end of an Air France flight. Air France was founded in 1933 and by 1940 was the third largest airline network in the world, covering Continental Europe, South America, North America, the Far East and the Middle East. Three Dewoitine D-333s were ordered by Air France in 1934, and were christened Antares, Cassiopee and Altair. Judging from the call numbers this plane is the Antares.
