The view of an unnamed airport with a crowd of people gathered outside of the Trans World Airlines (TWA) hangar in Boulder City, Nevada. One of America's oldest International Air Carriers (INAC) that was popular during the twentieth century, the Trans World Airlines was aided by aviator Charles Lindbergh in mapping out the company's early air routes, and so in the 1930s Trans World Airlines was also known as "The Lindbergh Line." Transcribed across the ground sign in front of the crowd: "Fly over Boulder Dam, Lake Mead."
