Color advertising piece promoting Ford Motor Company automobiles alongside commercial aviation imagery. The central scene shows a polished Douglas DC-3 of American Airlines parked on an airfield apron, with a uniformed pilot and flight attendant standing beside a maroon Ford Deluxe V-8 sedan. The aircraft bears “Flagship” titles and U.S. Mail markings, indicating its dual passenger and mail-carrying role. Above, smaller vignettes depict airline captains posed with Ford automobiles and inside car interiors, reinforcing the theme that airline pilots prefer Ford vehicles. The headline reads “When eagles come to earth! The men who fly the flagships choose Ford Motor Company cars,” linking aviation prestige with automotive reliability. Additional text below cites a survey of airline captains and officers, emphasizing Ford, Mercury, and Lincoln-Zephyr ownership among aviation professionals.

Color postcard showing a BAC One-Eleven operated by British Airways on approach to land. The short-haul twin-engine jet features rear-mounted engines and a T-tail configuration. It is painted in an early British Airways livery with a white upper fuselage, dark blue underside, and a red tail with stylized Union Flag elements. The landing gear is fully extended as the aircraft descends just above the runway, with grassy fields and a low horizon in the background under a lightly clouded sky.

Color postcard showing the terminal and control tower at Memorial Field Airport. The building is a two-story structure with a rounded central section and a glass-enclosed control tower rising above it, topped with antennas and rotating beacon equipment. The façade combines light-colored walls with horizontal bands of windows. In the foreground, several small propeller aircraft are parked on the apron, including single-engine planes with polished metal and red-and-white paint schemes. Ground equipment and a small mobile stair unit are positioned near the aircraft. Low hills or wooded ridges appear in the background under a sky filled with scattered clouds, emphasizing the airport’s setting within the surrounding landscape.

Edwardian postcard of the Round House, Anwick (c.1906–1910). The woman and children were likely the cottage’s residents. Sadly the building is now reportedly derelict, making this a rare glimpse of village life over 110 years ago. #Anwick #LincolnshireHistory #OldPostcards
