TWA - The Wise Bird Flies

This original vintage TWA airline poster from 1952 promotes the airline's Sky-Tourist economy service for coast-to-coast travel across the United States. The wonderfully playful design features a large cartoon owl beneath the slogan "the wise bird flies", with a TWA aircraft flying overhead and a map of the United States reflected in the owl's bright yellow eye.

The owl, complete with a checked travel cap and luggage, gives the poster a humorous character while presenting economy air travel as the smart choice. The bold black background, bright colors and distinctive typography make this a particularly eye-catching example of early 1950s American airline advertising.

A charming and highly decorative original TWA - Trans World Airlines poster from 1952, combining humor, strong graphic design and the excitement of coast-to-coast air travel during the golden age of aviation.

In excellent condition. Vivid colors.
