Group of four original World War II linen postcards dated 1942, depicting scenes from the Army Air Forces Technical Training Command in Miami Beach, Florida. The images show uniformed troops marching along city streets lined with Miami Beach hotels, military truck convoys, rifle range training, and large formations of servicemen assembled on grassy grounds. Printed in the distinctive linen postcard format popular in the late 1930s and 1940s, these cards feature vibrant colors and textured paper stock. The group documents Miami Beach’s role as a major military training center during World War II and offers strong historical and visual appeal for collectors of wartime ephemera, military postcards, and Florida history.
