Panair
Small
vintage Panair (Pan American Airways System) travel poster dating from around the late 1920s or early 1930s. The artwork features a flying boat aircraft, likely a Sikorsky S-40 "Clipper", soaring above a stylized globe showing the map of South America.
Poster Details

Airline: Pan American Airways System, which used "Panair" as a shortened name and for its Brazilian subsidiary, Panair do Brasil.
Aircraft: The prominent aircraft is a large seaplane or flying boat, characteristic of the "Clipper" ships that Pan Am used for pioneering international routes across the Americas and eventually the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Era: The design is typical of the Art Deco style popular in the 1930s, a golden age for early aviation travel posters.
Depiction: The poster emphasizes the connectivity and reach of the airline's system, particularly highlighting South American routes, which were key early destinations for Pan Am's flying boats operating from bases like Miami's Dinner Key.
Collectibility: Original and reproduction prints of this iconic poster are widely available for purchase in various formats.
