1930s TWA Ashtray “MUSEUM PIECE”
In 1934, Douglas Aircraft employee Victor Pastushin designed chromed-metal Transcontinental & Western Air (TWA) Douglas DC-2 ashtrays. To complement the small-scale metal models, he created aerodynamic trays and arm mounts. The “Airtray,” as he appropriately named his airplane ashtray, quickly gained in popularity, and was followed by Airtrays of the Douglas DC-3 and the pressurized Boeing Model 307 Stratoliner.
"Streamlines: Air Age Aesthetics for Industrial Design" is on display, pre-security, in the Aviation Museum and Library in the International Terminal.
