On offer here is
RARE GROUP OF 67 ORIGINAL CONTINENTAL AIRLINES HISTORICAL
PHOTOS
DATING FROM THE 1940'S TO ABOUT THE LATE 60'S.  We believe this group of images is from the effects of Continental Airlines Executive VP of Marketing Charles Bucks, but are not 100% certain. It was most
definitely
a Los Angeles area Continental Airlines Executive because the quantity and quality of the 8 x 10 images is remarkable. Please view the extra added photos below to get a clearer ideal of what's included.
Some of the great images we noticed were:
- The FIRST Convair Model 440 (taken about January 1956) off the line at Convair's factory in San Diego. (
''....the first of three of the new, fast, quiet 44 passenger twin-engine airliners ordered by C.A.L....
")
