Description: This lovely old ADVERTISING FAN from the early days of QANTAS dates to pre the Jet Era.... the aircraft depicted on the fan is prop driven dating the fan to pre 1959. Qantas was founded in Queensland in 1920 as Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Limited. In 1934 QANTAS Limited and Britain's Imperial Airways (the forerunner of British Airways) formed a new company, Qantas Empire Airways Limited. The new airline commenced operations in December 1934 flying between Brisbane and Darwin using old fashioned DH.50 and DH.61 biplanes. Short S.23 Qantas Empire flying boat QEA flew internationally from May 1935, when the service from Darwin was extended to Singapore using newer de Havilland DH.86 Commonwealth Airliners. Imperial Airways operated the rest of the service through to London. After World War II, QEA was nationalised, with the Australian Labour government buying the shares of both Qantas Limited and BOAC. In 1967, Qantas Empire Airways changed its name to Qantas Airways, the name of the airline today.
