Description: A marketing photo illustration of a McDonnell Douglas DC-10 flying under the flagship banner of Continental Airlines. Most likely used as a promotional/advertising piece. Some wear along borders of print, please see photos. Print is attached to a catalog card as routinely seen used in McDonnell Douglas’s art department. Really nice colors, measures 8x10. Provenance McDonnell Douglas. Nice vintage item. Continental started out as one of the smaller carriers in the United States, known for its limited operations under the regulated era that provided very fine, almost fancy, service against the larger majors in important point-to-point markets, the largest of which was Chicago/Los Angeles. However, deregulation in 1978 changed the competitive landscape and realities, as noted by Smithsonian Airline Historian R. E. G. Davies, "Unfortunately, the policies that had been successful for more than forty years under (Robert) Six's cavalier style of management were suddenly laid bare as the cold winds of airline deregulation changed all the rules—specifically, the balance between revenues and expenditures."
