National Airlines 1962 Where Nation Grows System Time Table Brochure

Effective December 15, 1962, this National Airlines system timetable captures the carrier’s expansion during the early jet age, when regional routes and family travel promotions were central to airline marketing strategy.

By the early 1960s, commercial aviation in the United States was rapidly modernizing, with jet aircraft reshaping route structures and passenger expectations. National Airlines emphasized growth markets, especially along the East Coast and into Florida, presenting itself as both progressive and family-friendly. Timetable brochures from this period functioned as practical travel guides while simultaneously reinforcing brand identity through bold color, typography, and aircraft imagery.

The cover features a turquoise gradient design with the slogan “Where the Nation Grows… National Goes,” alongside an illustration of a four-engine jet aircraft. Calendar grids for December 1962 through March 1963 appear on the front panel, with shaded dates marked as family plan days. Interior pages include route maps and detailed system schedules outlining destinations and connections across National’s expanding network.
