Created in 1943 by C.S. Hammond & Co. for the Columbia Broadcasting System’s educational radio program The American School of the Air, the Air Age Map of the World presents a striking polar projection centered on the North Pole, emphasizing global airline routes during the height of the Second World War. Brightly colored and richly detailed, it reflects the optimism and technological progress of the “Air Age,” when flight and communication were shrinking the world. Designed as both a teaching aid and a celebration of modern aviation, this map captures the spirit of an era when geography, radio, and air travel came together to shape a new vision of global connection.
