Passenger Boarding Zone - Friendship Airport - Baltimore, MD

I grew up in a house approximately 8 miles from the current BWI International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Dedicated by President Truman in 1950, it was first named "Friendship Airport". The arrivals and departures often went right over our house, disrupting numerous TV broadcasts!

Municipal Airport Dundalk, near Baltimore, Maryland

It appears this card was sent in 1942, the same year that the United States Army took over the Baltimore Municipal Airport. Within the same year, Winston Churchill also departed from here after seeing President Roosevelt.
