See this picture and it’s hard to believe the plane only carried 75 passengers.  The story of the tail number (N74601) is much more interesting.  It has been assigned to a variety of aircraft, including a helicopter; but when it was with Northwest Orient, on 5 August 1955, this Boeing 377-10-30 landed at Midway Airport in Chicago, didn’t stop, and crashed through a fence into a nearby street intersection.  No fatalities.  You can actually find a video news report of this incident on YouTube.  The card was mailed in 1950, with stamp and full postmark from Spokane Air Mail Field.  Some creasing, but all things considered, a “keeper” of a card with a story behind it.  Grade: 3
