Air Show Poster, Inman Brothers Flying Circus, "Airplane Rides," 1936

Summary

The only thing more exciting than watching pilots perform aerobatic stunts was flying in an airplane yourself. Exhibition squads offered short flights at prices far lower than expensive commercial airline fares. Inman Brothers Flying Circus would take you into the sky for just 50 cents. For a dollar, you could enjoy an "extra long thrill ride."
