Cidna.
Originally known in 1920 as the French-Romanian Company for Air Transport (CFRNA), CIDNA provided service for passengers, mail, and other cargo from Paris to Istanbul via the many cities whose emblems fill the bottom text area. Not only was it the first operational transcontinental airline, but it also made the very first international passenger night flight, flying in 1923 from Belgrade to Bucharest. It was ultimately merged with Air France in 1933. This poster includes a tip-on for its Warsaw agency.
