Farman Goliath
One of the great early passenger aircraft from France. This aircraft made many height and distance records early on. Many aircraft entered service in 1920. Stroud lists 56 different aircraft in his book European Transport Aircraft since 1910. Not mentioned in the book are two Goliaths that went to the first Cuban airline in 1920. So far I have not seen a postcard for one of those. Shown below are Goliath postcards from 7 airlines in 3 different countries.
