Ads in this series are pictured at http://doughnut.net/~susan/Ads%20in%20a%20Series/Douglas%20Aircraft/
Alas, it is hard to tell who did the artwork on these ads. One thus far is not signed. On the others, I can't quite make out the signature. I will hopefully have this information at a later date.
This was a numbered series. The ads pictured here all appeared in Newsweek but I'm pretty certain that these ads appeared in other publications.
1, No. 2 in the Series. "With MATS, his supply line can never be more than hours long," The Douglas C-124 Cargo Transport is pictured. Artist Unknown. 1955
2, No. 3 in the Series. "New missile marches with the infantry," The U. S. Army's Douglas-Designed Honest John Artillery Rocket is pictured. Artist Jack H???. 1955
3, No. 5 in the Series. "Most versatile military planes in the air - the Douglas Skyraiders," Ad pictures the Carrier-based Douglas AD4 Skyraider. Artist A. [Alexander] Leydenfrost. 1952.
Here's where I get confused. No. 5 appeared in 1952 but No. 2 and No. 3 in the series appeared in 1955. It's possible that I made a mistake when noting the source but I am always super careful when noting the source. Hopefully, the mystery or the mistake will be solved in the future.
4, No. 7 in the Series. "Douglas Guided Missiles," Artist A. [Alexander] Leydenfrost. 1952
5, No. 19 in the Series. "- the Douglas AD-5 Skyraider," Unsigned. 1953
6, No. 23 in the Series. "World War II veteran holds its own in the new jet age," The Douglas B-26 Invader. Artist Melbourne Brindle. 1953.
7, No. 28 in the Series. "Stiletto-shaped twin jet joins Douglas family of high-speed research aircraft - the supersonic Douglas X-3," Ad pictures the Skystreak, the Skyrocket, the Skyray and the experimental Douglas X-3. Artist ?. Year?
