286.Pan American Airways - Destination PC'sMost airline postcard collectors prefer postcards with airplanes but there is a lot more to airline history than aircraft. Fortunately for collectors many other aspects of the growth of the airlines is available on postcards. Pan Am during its heyday was one of the major airlines flying around the world. They made a series of postcards usually given to passengers along with their tickets showing scenic views in countries they serviced. This type of postcard is commonly called a destination postcard. Many airlines made cards like this but no airline more than Pan Am. In this section I'm showing Pan Am's destination postcards issued prior to 1960. These are not popular with pictures of airplane collectors and most can be acquired for a few dollars or less except for the earliest Real Photo series. The postcards all show interesting views to promote traveling with Pan American World Airways.
