And a vintage TV Guide ad for Bring 'Em Back Alive:
Great art, even if the ad copy leaves a little to be desired.... "Who's sizzling" indeed?

I don't have the title in front of me, but there's a "Quantum Leap" episode where Sam leaps onto a plane in flight. There are a couple exterior shots of the cockpit, and you can clearly lead the phrase "Cutter's Inter-island Transportation Service," or something very close to that.
That should've been "read the phrase" in my first comment. D'oh!
That is some handsome art. I've seen a lot of modern illustrators emulate that 30s adventure poster style (Drew Struzan being the king) and I have to admit, I prefer the more recent work (the last 30 years) to the originals.
