Condition A.
The Canadian Pacific corporate empire included trains, ocean liners and eventually airplanes. After World War II, "the days of commercial rail travel were numbered, and the major thrust of the company's advertising campaigns was directed toward the expanding airline business." (Canadian Pacific p. 61). In 1949 two flights a week left Vancouver for Sydney, Australia, and later that same year flights were inaugurated to Tokyo and Hong Kong. By the 1950s the airline was flying to South America, Hawaii and Europe. Canadian Pacific 61.
