Presented by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and produced for KLM by Douglas Aircraft Company Film & Television, this promotional film from the late 1960s titled “Discover USA with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines” promoted transatlantic air travel with the world’s oldest airline. The film takes the viewer on a tour of America’s greatest attractions spanning from New York on the east coast, California on the west, and all the stops in between.
