- First published in 1930 for the Pratts Fuel Co., this map beautifully illustrates the impact of one of the most dramatic technological advances of recent history. As flight evolved from a new weapon of warfare into a hobby of the wealthy enthusiast, aerodromes were established all over Europe and the public was enthralled by the air races and record attempts of flying clubs. The work of renowned artist and designer MacDonald Gill, this map is redolent of the elegance, adventure and elan of the golden age of flight.
