1108 FDC C14 image#C14, $1.30 Graf Zeppelin, well centered stamp tied to flown first day cover on the return leg of the flight, both Zeppelin cachets as well as a German air post forwarding cachet, backstamped Friedrichshafen on June 6, 1930, very fine; a most unusual and rare first day cover, not only because it was flown on the last return portion of the flight (very unusual), but when the post office processed this cover they cacheted it with the usual outbound cachet, when they realized their mistake (because being addressed to Germany with only $1.30 postage the only leg it could go on was the return flight), they tried to cover up their mistake by scraping away the wrong features of the cachet and touching it up with the same ink from the pad making this most unusual.

AIR TRANSPORT POSTAL HISTORY
Lot Symbol CatNo. Lot Description CV or Estimate
1117 c C25-31 image#C25-31, 6c-50c Air Transport award winning exhibit collection of about 450 covers, this includes the exhibit collection formed by the late Stephen Enkstrom, as well as another exhibit collection that Mr. Enkstrom purchased just before his death, but never integrated into his own exhibit, the collection shows the wide range of usages and rates that this air post issue saw, with domestic usages including mixed issue frankings (especially with the Presidential issues), advertising, registered, special delivery, crash covers, usages to and from Alaska and Hawaii, as well as other territorial and possessions, plus numerous foreign destination usages to far-flung places throughout the world, diplomatic mail, and usages from foreign destinations, but perhaps the most impressive part of the collection is the myriad usages during World War II, with mail to and from soldiers, showing auxiliary markings galore, plus prisoner-of-war, Japanese internment camp mail, various censored, four scarce "R.F." overprints correctly used, and more, also there are several historically important covers such as a letter diverted from Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, covers relating to the development of the atomic bomb, and a cover sent by a member of the Enola Gray crew on the day of the Hiroshima bombing, plus there are many more interesting items to be found throughout, when these two exhibits are properly integrated and mounted, it would certainly form the basis of a gold medal collection of this increasing popular issue.
