I love these types of posters. So simple in design but so eye catching.

Brilliant design, so simple and eye-catching. I love this style.

Beautiful. I agree: simple, clean and eye-catching. Very Art Deco, too.

Obviously this is before "LaGuardia" was built?

Correct. per wiki "The airport was dedicated on October 15, 1939" At that time it was just the New York Metropolitan Airport.

Adding to the WPA love!

I noticed the bottom plane looked like it was landing in water and I my first thought was, "I guess Captain Sully wasn't the first to have that idea!" Then I noticed where it said "East River Seaplane Bases." Oh, so it's supposed to do that.

This is a sexy ad! Love it!

That is just magnificent artwork. Beautiful design. Excellent typography. Art deco at its finest.

This would look great hanging up on someone's wall. Do you know who designed the poster?
