TWA – Martin Skyliner
Maybe because this particular postcard so perfectly captures a golden era of commercial flight (1950s), you can find many examples for sale online. As you’re here now, we will tell you about ours: unused, linen, captioned in English on the front and French on the reverse. We loved the airline, and we love the card. Grade: 1

Code: 30200787
Price: $4.00
Swissair McDonnell-Douglas MD-81
Unused card with several technical specifications on the reverse. Grade: 1

Code: 30200788
Price: $2.00
Cathay Pacific
CX did not want you to know what type of aircraft this is, so the unused card does not tell you. Grade: 1

Code: 30200789
Price: $1.00
Lufthansa Airbus A310-300
Unused airplane postcard with several (bilingual German/English) technical specifications on the reverse. (Yes, we call it an “airplane postcard” or even an “aircraft postcard” for the search engines!) Grade: 1

Code: 30200790
Price: $2.00
Paris, Arc de Triomphe (TWA)
Back in the 1950s, TWA and other airlines happily issued postcards highlighting their destinations. We miss these, but the card survives: mailed in the USA (not Paris!) with a commemorative Wright Brothers 6-cent airmail stamp and a postmark from an Air Mail Field Office in Cleveland, Ohio. Bilingual French/English captions. Grade: 1

Code: 30200791
Price: $7.00
Canada, airplane
Mailed in 2024 with four different stamps and bilingual blue air mail label. No other information, sorry. Grade: 1

Code: 30200792
Price: $1.00
Flug-Tag Chur
With Swiss origins, this reproduction card is contemporary and was mailed from Germany in 2024 with two stamps, postmark, and Priority label. Grade: 1

Code: 30200793
Price: $2.00
Lufthansa Airbus (A321)
We put (A321) in parentheses because one of the three large stamps on the reverse obscures part of the card’s caption. Postmark, and Priority label, are also there. Based on the registration number (D-AIRH) on the plane, this is indeed an A321 whose first flight was in 1993 and has been periodically stored since then. Grade: 2

Code: 30200794
Price: $2.00
Japan Air Lines, B747 (JA8101)
Unused, official JAL card captioned “B-747 ‘The Garden Jet’, Route of the Couriers”. Registration number JA8101 is faintly visible, and our online search tells us that JAL’s first 747-100 (JA8101) entered service on the Honolulu and Los Angeles routes in 1970, after which it went through multiple owners but the trail goes cold in 2003 when it was held by Kitty Hawk International. Grade: 1.

Code: 30200795
Price: $6.00
Capital Airlines (USA)
Abridged from Wikipedia, “Capital Airlines was a scheduled airline serving the eastern, southern, southeastern, and midwestern United States, (with) headquarters at Washington National Airport. In the 1950s Capital was the fifth largest United States domestic carrier by passenger count (and sometimes by passenger-miles) after the Big Four (American, United, TWA, and Eastern. Capital merged with United Airlines in 1961.” Whether this card was official from Capital or not, we’re not certain; it serves mostly as a promotion for Shell Oil as the supplier for their fleet of Viscounts. Unused aircraft postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 30200796
Price: $8.00
San Diego, Downtown and Plane Taking Off (California)
The plane is leaving Lindbergh Field, which we used many times ourselves. This card was mailed in 2024, has three stamps and postmark, and would fit the bill nicely for a contemporary San Diego postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 30200797
Price: $2.00
Magadan, Landing Yakutia aircraft (Russia)
From the Моя Россия (My Russia) series, a very distinctive photo on a card mailed in 2024, with four different stamps and three large postmarks. Grade: 1

Code: 30200798
Price: $3.00
