EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful poster, produced by renowned comic artist Lawson Wood in the late 1930s, showcases the playful rejection of alternative means of transport by a group of animals, including monkeys, a pig, and a puppy, as they gaze longingly towards a Jersey Airways De Havilland 86 in the background. The poster, which is believed to have been created around 1937, was a popular hit among air travellers during Jersey Airways' formative years, from its establishment in December 1933. The six-engined De Havilland 86, a symbol of modern aviation technology at the time, can be seen proudly displayed in the background, dwarfed by the lively scene of the animals' determination to fly. This charming piece of aviation history, which showcases the lighter side of air travel in the 1930s, is a testament to the allure and excitement of early flight. The Royal Aeronautical Society's National Aerospace Library holds the original print of this poster, which is a treasure trove of aeronautical history and a reminder of the humor and whimsy that characterized the early days of air travel.
