Braniff International Airways In-Flight Wool Blankets (Five), "Jellybean" Era Cabin Textiles. A vibrant set of five original Braniff International Airways in-flight passenger blankets, dating to the airline's celebrated "End of the Plain Plane" era. Rendered in bold geometric blocks of orange, red, and golden-yellow, the design reflects the unmistakable color-forward aesthetic that defined Braniff's cabin interiors during the height of its Jet Age transformation. Measuring 64" x 46", the blankets feature a striking oversized plaid pattern consistent with Braniff's immersive branding program, which extended Alexander Girard's design philosophy beyond aircraft exteriors to cabin environments, ticket counters, lounge décor, and service items. Ideal for collectors of airline memorabilia, mid-century design enthusiasts, or as striking decorative elements in aviation-themed interiors. Very fine.
