Photo 71 of 100, Remembering TWA Mar. 2018

In 1965, the race was on for a supersonic transport, and the Concorde appeared to be the first option. No one wanted to be the airline that didn't have one so TWA placed an order (non binding option, really), for 6 aircraft. As Arab fuel embargoes and other events took place in the early 70's the allure of supersonic transport waned, and in January 1973 TWA cancelled.
The card is a remarkable and rare card from a historic Concorde set, kindly provided by Kuo-Ching Fu.
