Airport Postcards
These vintage postcards offer a glimpse of the beauty and splendor of airports built in the years before the Second World War in the U.S. Many such postcards were produced in the early years of aviation as an airport was a symbol of pride and status for communities across the country. The variety of architectural styles and motifs which were employed in early airport construction reflect the value that the public was placing on the new transportation centers.
