Hello!

Unfortunately I do not have the book in front of me (it was discarded!) but
I weeded Transportation for the Twentieth Century, copyright
1950-something, this year.  It had pictures of cars, and trains, and
statements like "Nearly all passenger traffic over a few miles is carried
on the nation's fast, comfortable passenger railroads.  Imagine!  You can
now cross the entire country in less than four days in comfort, watching
the scenery roll by!"  and  "High government officials, and of course the
military, often travel by airplane when there is an urgent need."  The
airplanes shown were a DC-6B and a Lockheed Constellation.  Happy families
cooing over the view out the club car were shown, along with children
climbing into sleeper berths.  There was only one interior picture of an
passenger airplane, and that was of a DC-3.  I know, because in my (ahem)
youth, I flew on them. <G>
