Hawaii Pan Am
One Sheet vintage Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) travel poster. The artwork, titled "Hawaii - Flower Lei and Diamond Head", was created by artist Aaron Amspoker around 1959.
This iconic poster features a vibrant lei of tropical flowers encircling a view of the famous Diamond Head crater and Waikiki beach, with a Pan Am airplane flying overhead. The aircraft depicted in the vintage Pan American travel poster is likely a
Boeing 377 Stratocruiser.
Aircraft Details

Type: The plane is a large, four-engine, double-decker propeller airliner, which matches the description of the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser.
Context: Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) used the Boeing 377 for its luxury service on the Pacific routes to Hawaii and other destinations in the 1950s. Flights from San Francisco to Honolulu on this aircraft began in 1949 and were known for their innovative features, including a lower-deck lounge.
Poster Era: The poster itself was created around 1959 by artist Aaron Amspoker, which aligns with the operational period of the Stratocruiser with Pan Am.
"Clipper" Name: While the image does not explicitly state it, these aircraft were often referred to as "Clippers" by Pan Am, such as the "Clipper Romance of the Skies".
