This B-14 Hudson is a bit more stylized in drawing. Popular Curteich postcard "Keep 'em Flying" series, this one is #2B-H281. The 'B' in curteich cards refers to the decade, 1930s being 'A', '40s 'B' and so on. The first digit is the specific year within the decades. Thus, we know this card was published in 1942.
