The Newfoundland government asked him to carry a mail bag back to Italy for them. He agreed, and the stamp was quickly issued to publicize the event. He took off from Trepassey, Newfoundland on May 23, 1927. During his flight from Newfoundland to Italy, De Pinedo experienced engine trouble and he was forced to land in the ocean. He and his aircraft were found, and they were towed to the Azores. Following repairs to his aircraft, De Pinedo finally completed his flight, and he arrived in Rome on June 1, 1927) cat. $25000 (Cat No. C4) (Image)
