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
-
Swissair McDonnell-Douglas MD-81
Unused card with several technical specifications on the reverse. Grade: 1
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
Canada, airplane
Mailed in 2024 with four different stamps and bilingual blue air mail label. No other information, sorry. Grade: 1
-
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
-
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
