Pan Am--Learning from Postcards



Great shot, isn't it? I like it because of the angle; it looks as if it was shot from another skyscraper and not from the air or ground.

Postcards are a great way to see fine examples of good shots, and retro ones, like this one of the old Pan Am building, come with a great deal of nostalgia.

One of the great airlines of all time was Pan American World Airways. This was their corporate headquarters in New York City.

Pan Am began in 1927 with flights from Key West, FL to Havana, Cuba. The airline provided the first jet service between two cities in the late 50s. In 1991 the airline was no more because of financial problems.
