Philippine Air Lines made its first regular flight in March of 1941. The airline stopped service from 1942-1946 due to World War II, but resumed when the war was over. The DC-6 was the first pressurized aircraft that Douglas produced; as a sleeper it was used on the Trans-Oceanic routes, as depicted here within the typography of the airlines initials. This is one in a series of posters designed for the airline by the agency during this period.
