70s Spots: Eastern Airlines (1974) & American Airlines (1977)

‘A vacation as unique as you are…’

“The Wings of Man.”

Let’s take to the sky today with a pair of airline commercials. First, we have a spot for the now-defunct Eastern Airlines which features narration by Orson Welles (at least, I’d wager money it’s Welles). The spot aired in January of 1974 (likely produced in ’73).

After that, a roulette wheel spins for American Airlines in a spot from May of 1977.
