American Airlines DC-7

DISCLAIMER: These images are from old postcards, and should be viewed with caution. While the original photographer was attempting to capture an image, through their medium they inadvertently captured unintended information. This should be kept in mind when looking at these pictures.
What I'm saying is that although the artist was likely just trying to capture a pretty scene, they created a graphic time capsule which trapped the limitations, fears, irrational prejudices and mind-bending stagnation of the soul which was in effect at the time. So I'll keep my commentary to a minimum. Just think of these as being pretty pictures.

Second Picture:



From the Back of the Postcard: The DC-7 Flagship, the fastest piston-powered airliner in the world, inaugurated the first nonstop service from coast to coast in both directions.

Ted Puffer Commentary: For passenger's sake, I'm glad they didn't stop with just one direction.
