Atlanta Municipal Airport, 1949

This highly detailed aerial shot (facing north) of Atlanta's "Temporary" terminal shows nearly a dozen Eastern aircraft: 2 Douglas DC-4s, 3 Lockheed Constellations and 6 DC-3s. It's possible that the only structure in this photo that is still standing is the round tank at the top center. For a view of this area today CLICK HERE.
