Think backgrd noise has it, Hickam as was with the seaplane 'rwys' in Keehi lagoon...

one11 has it. It is hard to believe that John Rodgers Airport, in the original photo taken in 1928, has turned into today's Honolulu International. I cropped the original photo, because the skyline was an immediate giveaway:

The other three photos were taken in 1939, 1943 and 1945. The water runways can still be seen on Google Earth, partially obscured by the 1970s "reef runway":

one11 has control.

Isn't Hickam the same airfield?

Yes....so I guess you have control

BN and One11,

That's a tricky one. Hickam AFB was opened in 1935 as a self-contained airfield, to the west of John Rodgers civil airfield. It maintained its own runways throughout WWII, but sometime in the 70s (I think), the runways were closed and Hickam now uses the runways at HNL under a joint-use agreement.

So I still think One11 is correct.

In the interests of keeping things moving and following India Four Two 's reasoning, here is a rather different watery one..........

A wider angle to show some signage and another DC-8 which may narrow it down at bit...............

Southern France? Nice, Cannes, or Toulon?

Not France although there was a French airmail connection in the 30s

Gancia would be too obvious, so how about Tunis/Carthage?

Ezeiza International Aeroporte, Buenos Aires, Argentina?
Canadian Pacific DC-8-40, and a Panagra DC-8-30 on apron.

Evansb , you are correct with both the airport and the DC-8s. Postcard airport view from the 1960's. I guess the pool is long gone as are both carriers, but it must outrank the many lost terraces in the spotters nostalgia stakes.

You have control.

Thank you. Beautiful post card. Here is the next challenge:

Tunis El Aounia (Carthage). Air France Languedoc. Lovely aircraft.

ARCHIE1 is correct:ok: You have control.

Thanks, evansb.
