A DC-4 passenger plane flies over Midtown Manhattan in this 1939 photo by Margaret Bourke-White. "You know how you think you're too smart to be swayed by the constant barrage of advertising, only to find yourself buying Coke Zero every day at lunch because of some perpetually repeated commercial with a gal in a bikini? Well, a large-size print of this photo hung in the lobby of the LIFE.com offices and was a constant presence, greeting us as we came to work every day and saying 'Until next time' when we left. So I guess when I see this image I can't help but be reminded that one of the miracles of modern technology is that it's possible to have a soft drink that both tastes great and is less filling. Also, it's just an all-around kick-ass pic." -- Michael Y. Park
