VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement showcases the history of Western Airways, emphasizing its "8 YEARS OF PUBLIC SERVICE." The poster lists annual passenger numbers from 1932 to 1940, highlighting a steady increase in travelers served each year. The aircraft silhouette against the dramatic cloud backdrop evokes a sense of adventure and progress that commercial aviation promised during that era. However, the bold question "WHY?" at the bottom suggests controversy or conflict—specifically noting that government action closed down operations. This image captures both pride in past achievements and an air of mystery regarding its abrupt end.
