Pan American Airways - Other Great Cards
Postcards of Pan American Airways that do not fit into the 1st Four company issued Black & White Series or the Flying Boats album will be shown here. The destination cards are in the next album. Everything else Pan Am postcard related will be in this album. Included are some Pan Am issued Pacific Islands postcards and a large group of airport cards showing Pan American aircraft. It is interesting that not counting the Pan Am Sea Plane base in Florida there are more postcards from airports in Germany showing Pan Am aircraft than there are for land based airports in the United States.
