In addition to showing the interior of a Douglas DC-3, this United Air Lines promotional print from the 1940s states: “This picture shows the inside of the cabin of a Mainliner. Passengers travel in comfortable reclining armchairs. Notice the pillows and blankets which passengers may use for their comfort. This picture shows passengers in peace time. In war time, planes carry few civilians but more soldiers, sailors, flyers and others working to win the war.” Image: United Air Lines, Douglas DC-3 interior, c. 1941. Gift of the Captain John B.
