Spaciousness is the keynote of " Skychief " comfort . In width,

in headroom, in length , you find the generous dimensions that

mean greater flying comfort . In every respect, dimensions of an

A .N .A. Douglas D.C-6B are greater than any other passenger

airliner operating in Australia . This extra roominess allows you

to move about-to stretch your legs-to really appreciate your

trip between capitals . Next time you fly-wing your way with

l\ .N .A. and enjoy the difference .

For reservations phone A .N .A . or your nearest travel agent.
