This vintage postcard showcases the iconic Amon Carter Field at Greater Fort Worth International Airport, prominently featuring the terminal building with a distinctive red roof and control tower. The image captures a bustling scene with various colorful mid-century automobiles lined up in front of the terminal, evoking the early 1950s era. The postcard highlights the airport's modern design for its time, including underground power and telephone cables and the ability to load and unload 20 to 21 mixed aircraft simultaneously along two passenger loading fingers.Published by Atlas News Shop and featuring a photo by Bell Aircraft Corp, this postcard is an original dated postmarked 1954, just a year after the airport's opening in April 1953. Its historical significance is underscored by the detailed caption describing the airport's innovative infrastructure. A handwritten message on the back adds a personal touch, making this card a collectible piece for aviation enthusiasts, postcard collectors, and those interested in Texas history. The standard 5.5 x 3.5 inch size makes it ideal for display or framing.
