Title: Secretariat De Propagande Aeronaute |

Description: This poster advertises the effectiveness and efficiency of Belgian air travel. The monoplane pictured in the advertisement is labeled O. Belge. All Belgian aircraft had labels beginning with O. and ending with the infantry or division. O. Belge is a generic label probably fabricated for this poster. The caption encourages the support of aviation for its multipurpose benefits. The caption reads "The wings save time, use the air route for transportation of: passengers, mail, and goods." At this time Belgian air travel was generally thought of as a luxury and not a necessary mode of travel. This poster aims to emphasize that air travel was a pragmatic form of passenger and commercial transportation, as well. |
