A plane-spotter's dream poster, in which various aircraft and airlines with their respective liveries are represented in a montage. One in a series of posters produced for Thomas Cook travel agency; others in the series feature shipping lines and railways. The poster dates to the era when commercial airlines were operating both propeller and jet planes. Air Ceylon, represented here by a Super Constellation, stopped flying those aircraft in 1960.
