Literature

During the 1930s, the design world was captivated by aerodynamic sleekness. This gave rise to famous high-speed locomotives like the Burlington Zephyr and the Union Pacific M-10000. Toy makers quickly capitalized on this obsession, manufacturing both metal and wooden "streamliner" toys to allow children to simulate riding these futuristic trains
