US Naval Air Station Alameda California USS Hornet Postcard Chrome. This vibrant multi-view chrome postcard showcases the historic U.S. Naval Air Station in Alameda, California. The front features four distinct photographic panels captured by Ken Glaser, Jr., highlighting the decommissioned base's transition to civilian use. Key images include the majestic U.S.S. Hornet aircraft carrier berthed at the pier, the iconic control tower with the San Francisco skyline visible in the distance, and a preserved military jet on display. Produced by the Smith Novelty Company of San Francisco, this modern era postcard serves as a fascinating historical record of the San Francisco Bay Area's military heritage. The high-quality printing showcases the deep blues of the bay and the sharp details of the naval architecture and aviation equipment.
