6 1/2 Magic Hours (1958)
Welcome to the golden age of air travel where uniformed sky-hostesses are single and pretty, where you can smoke and drink and tourist class had full-service dinners, and trans-Atlantic flights defined the jet-set. For a brief decade between the end of the Korean War (1953) until the assassination of President Kennedy (1964), American culture was at it’s peak. Idlewilde Airport was a city of Modern designs including the circular Pan-Am Terminal with its cantilevered roof and TWA’s visionary gull-wing taking flight.
Come aboard the Boing 707 “Jet Clippah” with a wing-span longer the the Wright Brothers’ first flight. Fly to London in 6 1/2 hours. Arrive in Paris with more leisure time! So chic, So modern. Have hours-dourves in the cocktail lounge and then a dinner of lobster tail and carved roast. Relax in “livingroom comfort” with air-conditioning and colored mood lighting. Getting there IS half the fun!
6 1/2 Magic Hours is available for free download on the Prellinger Archive.
