Northwest Airlines Following the Air Mail Act of 1934 Northwest Airways changed their name to Northwest Airlines. Their main aircraft was the Lockheed 10 Electra and their earliest postcards show that aircraft. In 1937 they added the Lockheed 14 "Sky Zephyr" to their fleet, and in 1939 they added the DC-3. Some of their early Lithographic postcards came in black and white and several tints. Most are scarce to rare. Starting with the DC-3 their cards are more common and they produced some nice linen postcards as well. Their Chrome era postcards are common but are visually striking with their signature red tails.

1 Lockheed 10 Electra in Flight The image is probably a stock photo they acquired from Lockheed to make this postcard. 2 Lockheed 10 Electra in Flight This card was issued out of their Seattle, Washington office. The AZO 4 squares stamp box dates the card to the 1926-1939 period. 3 1st Tinted Series Close Up - Blue The earliest of the airline issued color tinted litho cards are all rare. I know of 4 different cards in the series. 4 1st Tinted Series Close Up - Blue The backs in the series have the same color printing as the front. 5 1st Tinted Series Flying Right - Green All of the cards in this series feature the Lockheed 10 Electra. 6 1st Tinted Series Flying Right - Green The typical back for the series. This one in green matching the front of the card. 7 Sky Zephyr Series Close Up The Sky Zephyr series, I believe, is another 4 card series. All the cards seen are black & white lithos. 8 Sky Zephyr Series Loading Package The cards in this series are very scarce though probably not as rare as the first tinted series. 9 Sky Zephyr Series Close Up This is a typical back for the Sky Zephyr series. 10 2nd Tinted Series DC-3 on Tarmac - Black 11 2nd Tinted Series DC-3 on Tarmac - Black 12 2nd Tinted Series DC-3 on Tarmac - Blue 13 2nd Tinted Series DC-3 on Tarmac - Blue 14 2nd Tinted Series DC-3 on Tarmac - Green 15 2nd Tinted Series DC-3 on Tarmac - Green The card was mailed at Fargo, North Dakota on July 18, 1941. 16 2nd Tinted Series DC-3 Cockpit - Black 17 2nd Tinted Series DC-3 Cockpit - Black 18 2nd Tinted Series DC-3 Cockpit - Blue 19 2nd Tinted Series DC-3 Cockpit - Blue Card was mailed by an employee of N.W.A. and is postmarked August 6, 1941 at Fargo, North Dakota. 20 2nd Tinted Series DC-3 Cockpit - Green 21 2nd Tinted Series DC-3 Cockpit - Green 22 2nd Tinted Series DC-3 Cockpit - Yellow 23 2nd Tinted Series DC-3 Cockpit - Yellow 24 2nd Tinted Series DC-3 Flying - Black 25 2nd Tinted Series DC-3 Flying - Black 26 2nd Tinted Series DC-3 Flying - Blue 27 2nd Tinted Series DC-3 Flying - Blue 28 2nd Tinted Series Lakes and Streams - Green 29 2nd Tinted Series Lakes and Streams - Green 30 2nd Tinted Series Old Cow Hand - Green 31 2nd Tinted Series Old Cow Hand - Green Card was mailed at Seattle, Washington and is postmarked July 2, 1941. 32 Northwest DC-3 Interior 33 Northwest DC-3 Interior 34 Northwest Stratocruiser 35 Northwest Stratocruiser 36 Northwest.
