Again, great postcard I found rummaging around. Nice color photo of five points here in Durham, as well as a very small RDU airport. Check out the "Capital Airlines" plane shown in the scan. I know absolutely nothing about this airline or what happened to it, I would love to know more.
Added note, 23:11, 3/2/09: Well, it turns out my insufficient searching was pointed out to me. Apparently, Capital Airlines was a PA based carrier that went out of business in 1961 when it was merged into United Airlines.

Be sure to check out the posters section, the ones on the bottom row- good luck outting those up around the airport these days!
