| Three airplanes that
wrote history encircle a globe that recalls their era. The Lockheed Vega
"Winnie Mae" set records flying around the world in 1931. The legendary
PanAm China Clipper was the epitome of luxury and long distance travel in
the late 1930's. The Douglas DC-3 was the workhorse of the skies for
decades, it's become an icon in the history of aviation. The DC-3 served
every American airline in the 1930's as well as most European ones. No need
to refuel these three aircraft flying around the world as it appeared in
1930. An exact reproduction of a 1930 world globe, it shows the nations of
the world by their names and borders of the era. Airplanes are made of
hand-polished aluminum. The globe is made following the traditional method
of the day, painstakingly applying twelve paper gores to the sphere. An
ideal gift for an aviation enthusiast, history buff, world traveler or
daydreamer. Height: 15.75"
