Sunshine Air Trails

A very early “road map of the air” where surface roads are replaced by air routes and airfields predominate over gas stations.  Playing into the post-war interest in private aviation (the cover features a Piper Cub) this colorful map is filled with illustrations for the tourist as well as information on the various airfields that dotted the region.  Covering Arizona, New Mexico and west Texas, the map features a decorative cartouche and an ornate compass rose.
