Linen backed original Sabena airlines poster (with a DC 4 aircraft) to the Belgian Congo and South Africa. Printed in Belgium. Features a native African woman topless dancer with two spears in her hands dancing in tribal clothing. Signed C./Pub.
(Thus, SABENA's first long-haul flight to the Congo occurred 23 February 1935 and took five and a half days. It was flown by a SABENA Fokker F7b on a direct service. The following year SABENA purchased the latest airliner, the Savoia-Marchetti S.M. 73. At a speed of 200mph it reduced this route to only four days and the service ran alternative weeks in cooperation with Air Afrique who flew the every other week.) |
