#TB-23 - mid-1940’s Brochure Announcing the New Airline Terminal at Lindbergh Field, San Diego. - $7.00 This item is a heavy card announcement mailed to the “Station Manager, Western Airlines, Lindbergh Field, San Diego 1, Calif.”. The folded flier measures 8” x 11.25” open and was folded for mailing... bearing a National Postage Meter stamp postmarked Los Angeles, Calif. The postmark is not dated. The stamp-like image of the meter indicia reads “U.S. Postage - 1 Cents Paid - 944 N.P.M.”. Opening the brochure one sees an artist’s rendering of the terminal viewed from the front, in a very Art Deco style. Below that both American Airlines and Western Air Lines and their connections to the rest of the country and Canada are outlined! The phone numbers are “Woodcrest 2111 (American) and Woodcrest 6221 (Western). The condition of the flier is VeryGood+, with light bumping and rubbing at the corners and edges of the outside, only minor signs of handling inside. You’ll find this item to be clean, tight, bright and complete... a classy announcement of an important event locally... at the government-remodelled terminal of the airport from which Charles Lindbergh took off for Roosevelt Field on Long Island, New York. His subsequent flight from that field was the first nonstop transatlantic flight in history!
