Thanks, everyone, for the info about the jet. Regarding the plane, I meant to post this earlier:
This comic is one of those rare instances where I’ve taken two pieces of art and combined them.
The plane–drawn by Charles Nicholas and inked by Dick Giordano–appeared in an issue of FIRST KISS that was dated as Oct. 1962.
The rest of the art was produced by the Vince Colletta Studios and appeared in an issue of FIRST KISS dated March 1961.
So jets were definitely in the public awareness in the early 1960s.
