One Sheet Continental Airlines
vintage travel poster for Los Angeles by Continental Airlines, dating from the 1960s. The artwork is widely reproduced and attributed to artists such as Dave Roy or Larry Schultz in various modern print listings.
Poster Details

Airline: Continental Airlines
Destination: Los Angeles, California
Era: Circa 1960s, during the "Golden Age of Travel" when airlines commissioned vibrant posters to entice tourists.
Artwork: The poster features a colorful, stylized illustration of a couple in swimwear relaxing on a sandy beach under a palm tree, with an airplane flying overhead.
The aircraft featured in the vintage Continental Airlines poster is likely a representation of a
Boeing 707 or potentially a Boeing 720. The poster, dating from the mid-to-late 1960s, reflects the era when Continental Airlines was introducing these early jet airliners, often referred to as their "Golden Jets".
Identification Details

Era The simple jet shape aligns with the first generation of commercial jet aircraft that revolutionized air travel in the late 1950s and 1960s.
Airline Fleet Continental Airlines operated both the Boeing 707 and later the Boeing 727, and the stylized illustration in the poster uses a generic depiction of a jet airliner of that time period to promote their new fleet.
Artistic Style Travel posters from this period often used artistic representations rather than exact technical drawings, so the aircraft is an artistic interpretation of the modern jet technology the airline was promoting.
