A color postcard labeled “Southern Illinois Airport” in bold red text along the bottom depicts a modern airport terminal building set against a bright daytime sky. The structure is low and horizontally oriented, designed in a mid-century modern style with clean lines and a symmetrical layout. The façade is painted a light, neutral color—off-white or pale gray—and features a central entrance section distinguished by a series of tall, narrow arched openings supported by slender columns. These arches frame large glass panels, creating a prominent, airy entryway. On either side of the central section, the building extends outward with repeating architectural elements, including vertical window slits and decorative overhangs supported by curved or angled brackets, giving the structure a slightly sculptural appearance. The roofline is flat, with subtle projections that add visual rhythm across the front elevation. In the foreground, a wide, well-maintained lawn stretches across the lower half of the image. The grass is vivid green, neatly trimmed, and bordered by landscaped plantings including low hedges, small shrubs, and a few flowering plants clustered near the right side. A simple bench sits on the lawn near the center, suggesting a public or welcoming space in front of the terminal. The sky above is a soft blue with scattered, small white clouds, providing an even, bright backdrop that emphasizes the building’s light color and geometric form.

A vertically formatted image combines a modern smartphone screenshot and part of a vintage postcard. The upper portion shows a nighttime view from an airplane window, with the aircraft wing visible and a city illuminated below by scattered lights. Overlaid text appears in Arabic and French, along with social media interface icons such as likes and comments. The lower portion partially reveals a vintage postcard labeled for King’s Gateway Airport in Land O’ Lakes, Wisconsin, though only a narrow strip of the postcard is visible.

A vintage postcard labeled for the municipal airport in Springfield, Missouri, shows an early control tower building rising above a low terminal structure. The tower is rectangular with windows at the top for airfield visibility. The building sits beside a paved apron or roadway, with a few mid-century automobiles parked nearby.

A vintage postcard labeled “Terminal and Waiting Room, Allegheny County Airport” shows a large, curved Art Deco-style terminal building with a long row of tall windows. The structure is light-colored and streamlined, with a central entrance and a control tower rising above the roofline. In front of the building, several mid-20th-century automobiles are parked along a paved drive. The sky is clear, and the scene presents a clean, orderly airport environment typical of early commercial aviation facilities.

A vintage colorized postcard shows Clements Airport in Bay City, Michigan, as seen from U.S. Highway 23. In the foreground is a grassy airfield with a large hangar featuring a curved roof and wide glass-fronted doors. Several small propeller airplanes are parked both inside and outside the hangar. A tall metal beacon tower with a light at the top stands prominently to the right, used for early aviation navigation. A small red building sits nearby, possibly an office or operations building. An early monoplane flies overhead against a pale blue sky with scattered clouds. A roadway runs along the bottom edge of the scene.

Partially obscured color postcard of Yakima Air Terminal. The lower portion shows a close-up of a person reclining, possibly outdoors or in a staged promotional scene, with soft lighting and warm tones. The upper portion of the image is heavily distorted or damaged, obscuring much of the original content. Along the visible lower edge, handwritten-style text reads “Airport – Yakima – Wn,” indicating the postcard’s location.

Color postcard of the Midland–Odessa Regional Air Terminal showing a long, low mid-century modern terminal building with a distinctive wavy roofline and repeating white canopy supports along the curb. Large windows run along the upper level, and a radar dome is visible on the roof. A two-tone vintage station wagon is parked at the curb in front, while the street and sidewalk lead toward the entrance under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds.

Color postcard showing a twin-engine propeller airliner from Central Airlines parked on the ramp at Hot Springs Municipal Airport. The aircraft, likely a Douglas DC-3, is angled slightly toward the viewer with its nose raised and propellers visible. Behind it stands a mid-century terminal building with a glassed-in control tower. A sign near the building reads “Welcome to Hot Springs,” and a small red service vehicle is parked off to the left. Low hills and a partly cloudy sky form the background.
