The Eiffel Tower by TWA

I have shown a number of airline postcards with actual aircraft on them, but the airlines published other postcards as well.  As you might expect, they would often advertise the destinations that their fleet was capable of carrying their passengers to.

 

Today's card is a Trans World Airlines card from sometime before 1952.  (The one cent postage for the card gives that away).  It's a linen card, not chrome, so it is probably a fair bit earlier than 1952 I suspect. The back of the card has a hint that the card may be from 1948, but that is just a guess.  Either way...this is a great view of the Eiffel tower taken from the Trocadéro, site of the Palais de Chaillot in Paris. 

Until next time...
