This postcard is part of our exclusive series created from punch card documents uncovered in the dusty vaults of the U.S. National Archives (NARA). Once used to power early computers and recordkeeping systems, these fragile cards sat untouched for decades — until now.

We've digitally restored and preserved these relics of bureaucratic history, transforming them into collectible postcards that celebrate a lost analog world. Printed on heavyweight 300g glossy stock, each card is a slice of mid-century government tech — delivered to your door.

Each card features our signature NARA design. The full story behind the original image is included in this listing.

**Myitkyina Strip Invasion - World War II** This historic postcard features a scene from the Myitkyina Strip Invasion, a pivotal moment in the Burma Campaign during World War II. The image shows the Airborne Engineers preparing the Myitkyina Air Base in Burma for the landing of the 1st Troop Carrier Squadron. The base was captured by Merrill's Marauders and Chinese troops, marking a strategic victory in the campaign to control the region. The cooperation between these troops and fighter planes enabled the establishment of a crucial base for the capture of the city. In the foreground, Lt. William Sagger of Greensburg, Pa., is seen naming his glider "OLD CROW" after a whiskey available in a large city in India. Behind him are Flight Officer Philip Obaldini of Woonsocket, R.I., and Flight Officer Frank Good of Pittsburgh, Pa. The photograph was taken on May 17, 1944, at Shingbwiyang, Burma, and is a rare glimpse into the history of this significant military operation.
