One of the rarest 20th century pieces, this Rand McNAlly Air Globe - TopicsExpress



          

One of the rarest 20th century pieces, this Rand McNAlly Air Globe was commissioned by American Airlines. Its unique design lacks cartography in form of land or political borders. Instead, cities with airports (as of c. 1935) represent land. This design was to proclaim the era of aviation had arrived, where physical distance and political borders no longer hinder travel. We believe this sphere had a single production run but do not know exactly how many globes had been produced. We are currently researching on that subject. If we have any aviation experts here, could you identify the airplane? Is it a DC 3?
