the Museum of Flight has a list and image library of airline logos from the past and present. it is so interesting how airlines marry national pride with flight, as they have to encourage tourism and inspire confidence that the plane won't end up in the middle of the ocean. the logos and brand identity usually capitalize on the strongest and optimistic aspects of the country's culture. interesting stuff.

this bag i won on ebay!
a vintage old stock aer lingus flight bag found on ebay. only 15 dollars and sweet type running on the bottom! this seller "timinbrooklyn" sells alot of vintage airline paraphanalia, which is pretty sweet to check out.
also i found this website of airline timetable images, including alot of vintage images (like the one below) from the 40s-60s when airlines had some pretty stellar design.
