This original lithograph postcard from the late 1940s showcases the Albuquerque Municipal Airport in New Mexico, a historic crossroads for TWA and Continental Airlines. The image vividly captures the iconic TWA Stratoliner aircraft, a flagship airliner of the era, with two Navajo individuals dressed in traditional attire observing the 'wagon that flies.' The adobe-style architecture of the airport building adds to the southwestern charm and authenticity of the scene.Printed by Southwest Post Card Co. and marked with "Genuine Curteich-Chicago" Colortone printing, this 3.5 x 5.5 inch postcard exemplifies mid-20th century American travel promotion. The card's cultural and historical significance, combined with its vivid lithographic color and depiction of Native American heritage alongside aviation progress, makes it a unique collectible for postcard enthusiasts and those interested in Southwestern Americana and vintage airline memorabilia.
