The aircraft then and now

I suggest you look at how aviation has changed over the past few decades. Moreover, the word "aircraft" in this context should be understood not only planes and their technical equipment, but also entertainment for passengers, security measures at airports, etc. In a word, other times, other aircraft.

1. Entertainment for the passengers on board. Then (for example, in 1936) it was the card.



Now it is a touchscreen.



Security at the airport. Walkthrough metal detector in 1972.



Today we need to stand barefoot in the queue to go through the x-ray scanning



Lounges at airports. Passenger waiting for the flight in 1956.



Lounge at the airport (in some - is another matter, they are almost identical).



Economy class. Yes, in the '60s were so spacious economy class!



And today they are!



Dispatching. The 1942nd at the airport in Washington to do everything manually.



The dispatching of the day ...



First grade. In 1955 the first-class passengers dressed in the best.



And still today, what you're wearing. The main thing is you're flying first class!



Smoking. A man lights a passenger in the cabin in 1955.



In our time ...



Drinks. That's served cocktails on the airline Pan Am in 1958. That is service!



And today - a self-service.



Customs. Passengers who arrived from Mexico to Los Angeles, clear customs in 1930. This is a joke?



Waiting, waiting ...



Sleeps. Passengers on the plane airlines Pan Am in 1936.



Well, if you have a couple of unnecessary bills ...



Less comfortable beds. Here sleeper compartment American Airways flight in 1934.



But what are the modern passengers.



Cockpit. Cockpit Flight Pan Am in 1950. Do not tell.



Still, nothing can not tell!



Stewardesses. Pretty ladies.



They pretty today.
That's all I wanted to say. Thank
