Is probable that seaplanes are the more most common transatlantic passengers planes in early 50s.
We can have some trans continental hydrogen inflated airship?

TV is not for all,but i think that in early 40s we have regular trasmissions in several countries ,like USA,Italy,France (in Italy experimental programs were ongoing in 1939,and the television had to start regular programs in 1942).
Without the war,fascism in Italy last long,very,very long.
But without nazism is a relatively moderate authoritarian government,without anti-semitism.
The real technological gap between this timeline and our timeline is not in 40s,but in the following years.
Without cold war all is more slow; for some things the gap could be only few years,but others could be behind of decades:for exemple rockets and satellites,computers,jet planes,syntetic materials and fibers like kevlar.
The world could be still analogic,and obviously nothing internet in 2012.
Without the 40s baby boom,pop culture is different,and so fashion and music.
in late 60s Vietnam for the Americans is the French Indochina,and is a little visited tourist destination for Pan Am and TWA seaplanes "Superclipper".
