Used as promotional giveaways. It features a Lockheed Constellation 3-tailed airplane. Mora added details to this version, such as the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges that were not around in 1927 for his first, larger map The first printing run of this carte was on thin paper and some of the colors (blues and green) did not absorb well. The next run they switched to a heavier paper. This map is on the heavier paper with richer colors. It is packed with humor, historical information and details of the time.
