In the 1940s people travelled abroad by ship, and domestic travel was either by bus or car, or rail. The concept of travelling by air was new, and airlines in Canada (like elsewhere in the world) were very much in their infancy. Trans Canada Air Lines 1940s make your travelling by air easy.

Trans-Canada Air Lines created in 1937 by an act of Parliment, as the flag carrier to serve Canada, and the airline operated a fleet of silver Lockeed 10As and Lodestars up until Canadair Northstars acquired in 1947. These aircraft featured in the early TCA films on this Trans-Canada Air Lines 1940s program.
