Amelia Earhardt's beautiful airplane is part of the permanent display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. Painted bright red with black and metallic gold trim, it was one of the fastest airplanes of it's time.
I drew the airplane in Illustrator prior to bringing it into Photoshop. Once in Photoshop individual layers and colors were used to emulate screen patterns, internal registration errors and press pressure, drum circumference differencesand paper stretching common to the printing process of the era. When that was completed the poster was aged.
There really was a Twin City Airport but all of the other copy is a product of my imagination, including the "Aero-Ama."
