Condition A-: minor repaired tears in margins; creases in image.
A previously unrecorded "Citizenship" poster designed to impress new immigrants with the tenets, challenges, strength and motivation of the society they were eager to join. This powerful image of Lindbergh in the Spirit of St. Louis, a Ryan NYP, depicts one of the most famous events of the decade. The Ryan Aeronautical Company was based in San Diego, where the Spirit of St. Louis was built. Although designed to Lindbergh's specifications, this plane was based on the existing Ryan M-2. Northrop Grumman purchased Ryan in 1999.
