Two Wien Alaska Airlines Arctic Circle crossing certificates are dated August 7, 1955. Signed by pilots and a witness, the certificates combine the personal record of the flight with an Alaska map and airline route graphics. A Wien "Come fly with me..." advertising poster features a goose in aviator goggles, while a 1992 Northern Air Cargo 35th anniversary calendar celebrates the carrier's "All Cargo All the Time" identity with illustrations of its aircraft. The calendar measures approximately 12.75" wide x 31" tall. The accompanying papers include Kay J. Kennedy's The Wien Brother's Story, issued for the 1967 Alaska Centennial; a Wien "Explore Alaska's Arctic" tour brochure; an Alaska Airlines July-August 1968 timetable promoting Golden Nugget Jets; an Anchorage Daily Times aviation-routes newspaper feature; and an Alaska Airlines 75th-anniversary Airways Classics publication. Together they trace several aspects of Alaska air travel through certificates, schedules, advertising, and airline history.
