Front cover of a March 1946 timetable booklet for United Air Lines. The layout is divided into panels. The upper left shows small calendar grids for March and April 1946. The right side features a large shield-style logo in red, white, and blue reading “United Air Lines,” with the text “Effective March 1, 1946” above it. Below, an illustration of a four-engine propeller airliner in flight accompanies the phrase “Now in Service! Four Engined United Mainliner ‘230’s Coast to Coast.” The lower left panel includes a drawing of a twin-engine aircraft and the slogan “Now All Restrictions on Flying Removed – Fly United – The Main Line Airway Coast-to-Coast.” The design uses patriotic colors and bold typography, with slight wear visible on the paper.
Interior page of the same 1946 booklet for United Air Lines promoting air freight service. At the top, large text reads “Now – United Air Lines Air Freight.” To the left is a detailed illustration of cargo being loaded into a propeller aircraft using a lift truck, with workers handling crates. On the right is a block of text describing coast-to-coast shipping rates and services. The lower half features a detailed map of the United States with a network of routes; United’s primary routes are highlighted in red, connecting cities such as New York, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, with additional connections branching across the West Coast and Midwest. A legend distinguishes United routes from other airlines.
