This is some powerful imagery directed squarely and young, wealthy, educated, successful people. The high fashion, the shiny aluminum plane, the SLR camera and the look to the sky all scream of a new era in technology that looks to the future. Very effective. And with #WWII less than 3 months old when this issue of LIFE magazine was published, the airplane industry had ignited. But this ad would morph from fashion to fighter pilot in a couple of years.

Yes, a very effective image. Lockheed was a company with a very interesting history.
