Did you know Atlanta airport started out as a racetrack? Ever wonder what flying was like before the days of jets? Have you ever seen a vintage photo of Atlanta airport and couldn't figure out where the old buildings were in relation to the airport you know and love / hate ? Well then, step this way...
I completely rebuilt my massive History of Atlanta Airport with hundreds of photos covering over a century of history.

What year was the above photo of Atlanta Municipal Airport taken?
ReplyDeleteJohn, this photo is from the Delta archives and was probably taken shortly after they received this aircraft in March 1956. A new concourse was opened in November 1957 that would have made this view impossible so it had to be before then.
