One sheet "London Fly TWA" travel poster was designed by the acclaimed American artist David Klein (1918–2005) around 1960.
Klein was a prolific poster artist known for his vibrant, mid-century modern designs for Trans World Airlines (TWA) during the 1950s and 1960s. His work for TWA helped define the visual language of the "Jet Age".
