This is Airflight, seen
here in our American Optical
catalogue from 1964. It was new that year and was
promoted as being the new lightweight frame, being
much thinner than its heavier predecessors. AO's
advertising added that it was, '..light in weight, long on
styling..a new idea for those who like their eyewear
light.' And offering just four colours only added to the
exclusive feel at the launch of this lean design - these
in the original Onyx. Being thinner it comes up slightly
smaller than a standard 46/22, so check the other sizes
above. We found this pair having never been worn, so
the incised gold-filled logo is completely intact, as are
the incised grooves on the temple tips for head hugging.
Like all AO's frames from this period, it has been given
a suitably masculine moniker, so are you ready to take
to the skies?
