Proto Flying Lady

[Apache3057]

Just picked up a Flying Lady top and bottom box. Working on cleaning it before I post some pictures. Does any know if there is a story how or why they chose that ingsinia?

The Flying Lady was actually first used on the cover of the Plomb 1942-1947 catalog 19R. In reply to a thread about a 1951 Speed Age article on a Plomb advertising model named Paula Doretti, I speculated that Paula was indeed the model for the Flying Lady. Subsequent research by others on that thread revealed an interesting biography. Link here: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=315857

Given that Paula was 8 in 1940, I'm kinda doubting her as the model for the flying lady.....................

Why let a little math ruin a good pinup thread, Twerts? Haha.

Apologies! Regardless of the math, she sure looks the part!

Personally, I think she's a figment of someone's imagination and air brush work, and the Doretti connection was too good to be true. Thanks for thinking it through harder. I would've been spreading that impossible theory forever.
