Norwegian Air Lines
One sheet original vintage travel poster for Norwegian Air Lines (Det Norske Luftfartselskap A/S, or DNL), dating back to the 1940s.
The artwork features a Short Sandringham flying boat—a type used by DNL in their fleet—set against the backdrop of a Norwegian fjord with a local wooden boat in the foreground. DNL served as the flag carrier of Norway from its founding in 1927 until it merged with other regional carriers to form Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) in 1951.
The aircraft featured in this vintage DNL (Det Norske Luftfartselskap) travel poster is a Short Sandringham flying boat.This four-engine aircraft was a civil conversion of the famous Short Sunderland military patrol bomber used during World War II.Key Details about the Aircraft:Carrier: Operated by Det Norske Luftfartselskap A/S (DNL), the national airline of Norway from 1933 to 1948 before it merged to help form the Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS).Fleet: DNL operated three (and later five) of these "Sandringham 6" variants specifically for coastal services along Norway's rugged fjords.Individual Planes: The aircraft in the fleet were given names like Polarbjørn (Polar Bear), Jutulen (The Giant), and Kvitbjørn (White Bear).Configuration: The Sandringham 6 was configured to carry 37 passengers and featured a pantry on the lower deck for onboard service.The artwork, designed by an artist known as T.P., beautifully captures the scale of the flying boat against the dramatic backdrop of a Norwegian fjord, highlighting the era when these "clippers" were the height of modern air travel.
