AVIATION POSTCARD CLUB INTERNATIONAL

NEWSLETTER NO. 47

JUNE 2004

Too late to feature any topical cards combining aviation and football, instead we feature connections between the Olympic Games and aviation – apart from that Greek airline whose cards are among the most common airline-issue cards ever produced – but even they have a few less easily available. The cover shot shows the Olympic Rings symbol on the side of Hindenburg for the 1936 Berlin games – which started the trend of the games being a major propaganda and media event. After featuring the long lived C-130 Hercules last year, this time it is the turn of almost equally enduring DH/HS/B.Ae/Raytheon 125 and variants in the centrefold.

PS I think I may have used the cover shot before but too late to find another vertical Olympic related card.
