Front cover of a vintage airline timetable from United Air Lines dated effective February 1, 1944. The design features a bold red, white, and blue shield logo with the words “United Air Lines” above a stylized red silhouette of a four-engine airplane. The phrase “Route of the Mainliners” is written across the aircraft in script, with the layout repeated symmetrically across a fold.

Interior spread of the same 1944 timetable from United Air Lines showing a large red map of the United States covered with white route lines connecting major cities. A blue illustration of a four-engine propeller airliner flies above the map, while text at the top describes passenger capacity, speed, and wartime-to-peacetime aviation development. Labels identify cities such as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, along with connections to Canada, Mexico, and overseas routes.

This is a black-and-white airline advertisement dominated by a stylized route map of the western United States. Large text at the top reads, “the route map tells the story of service to the WEST.” The map shows Frontier Airlines routes drawn as thick black lines with white dots marking cities. States labeled include Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. Numerous cities are named along the routes, such as Billings, Cheyenne, Denver, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Tucson, Salt Lake City, and Bismarck, among many smaller regional stops. Arrows at the edges of the map indicate connecting service to major cities outside the region, including Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and St. Louis. A dark oval on the right states that the routes offer connections “with all transcontinental airlines.” At the bottom, bold text reads “fly FRONTIER AIRLINES,” accompanied by a small airplane logo.
