Description
Photograph of drawing of Super Star Constellation airplane in flight, ca.1960. At center, the lightly-colored aircraft is seen with a darkly-colored stripe along its side. To the right, the wide tail of the plane is seen to be made of three distinct ridges. One of these ridges has a star shaped symbol with the word "Lockheed" inscribed. Along its center, fifteen windows are seen with the phrase "Super Star Constellation" etched just above. Two engines are visible on each wing of the large aircraft. Near the pilot's cabin, another star-shaped symbol can be seen. In the background, clouds surround the aircraft. In the extreme background, city plots can be seen beneath the airliner.
