Douglas DC-7

This page shows my collection of postcards of the Douglas DC-7 aircraft.

Quoted from Wikipedia:

The Douglas DC-7 was an American transport aircraft built by the Douglas Aircraft Company from 1953 to 1958. It was the last major piston engine powered transport made by Douglas, coming just a few years before the advent of jet aircraft such as the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8. Of the 348 produced, about 40 are still in service.
