1950 Buffalo Airport New York Postcard . #Buffalo #NewYork #Airports #AirportArchitecture #Avgeek #Travel #History #Airplanes

Vintage color postcard depicting an aerial view of Buffalo Municipal Airport, Buffalo, New York, identified by the printed caption at the upper left: “60—Buffalo Municipal Airport, Buffalo, N.Y.” The illustration provides a detailed view of the airport terminal, apron, aircraft, automobiles, and crowds of passengers and spectators.

The main terminal complex occupies the right half of the image. It is a large multi-story building constructed primarily of light-colored masonry with dark red-brown roofs and extensive rows of windows. A prominent circular or polygonal control tower rises above the central portion of the building. The tower has tall windows surrounding an enclosed observation room and a dark, projecting roof. Numerous people are gathered on the terminal's upper terraces and along the apron in front of the building, giving the scene the appearance of a busy mid-century passenger airport.

Several American Airlines aircraft are parked on the large concrete apron to the left and foreground of the terminal. The aircraft are four-engine, propeller-driven airliners with polished silver-colored fuselages and red-and-white markings. One aircraft in the upper left is parked broadside to the viewer, while another is positioned near the lower left. A third American Airlines aircraft occupies the foreground, apparently taxiing or being maneuvered on the apron. Ground-service equipment, including small baggage or service carts and vehicles, is positioned around the aircraft.

A large number of tiny illustrated figures are visible throughout the terminal area. Crowds line the edge of the aircraft apron behind a metal safety railing, while other passengers and airport visitors are gathered near the terminal entrances and along the sidewalks. Numerous automobiles are parked in rows on the upper-right side of the image, suggesting a substantial automobile parking area serving the airport.

The postcard presents Buffalo Municipal Airport as a busy postwar American passenger airport, combining a substantial terminal building and control tower with multiple large four-engine airliners, ground-service equipment, automobiles, and crowds of travelers. The bottom-right corner carries the printed code “OC-H402.”
