- Notes:
- This brochure was intended to promote the growing use of commercial air travel by Americans. On one side is a game featuring an 8 x 8 checkerboard overlaid on an outline map of the U.S. Alongside the map are a number of educational (and reassuring) textual sections, such as "More and More People Are Flying Every Day!", "How an American Airlines Flight Takes Off," and "The People Who Keep Them Flying." On the other side is a large route map of the airline surrounded by five more games. The folding brochure was evidently initially distributed in cereal boxes, because the games require playing pieces, for example, "found on four Cheerios Boxes," and in several cases, "the spinner found on this Cheerios Box."
