The juxtaposition of runway, ocean water, and rugged terrain creates a visually distinctive composition, reinforced by the warm tones and textured surface typical of linen postcards from the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1096\" data-end=\"1387\"\u003eThe item shown in the listing is the exact item the collector will receive.
