Something in the air: pictures of the real “Pan Am”

The 1940 Air Terminal Museum in Houston, Texas

Well, the major networks have now released the second of two series aimed at seizing Mad Men’s thunder. Pan Am, premiering tonight, appears very highly lit and very clean; as with the Playboy Club, you can certainly see what a major network budget can pay for.  But if you want to see true, old school airline glamour, check out over 100 photos we took at the gorgeous 1940 Air Terminal Museum, including of traditional uniforms, posters and giveaways from Pan Am, Eastern and other airlines.

The Air Terminal Museum is an amazing architectural gem, done in the Art Deco style, which is being painstakingly refitted by volunteers – and there are plenty of photos to show you!
