1919 (12 July) "Crosbie Hotel" envelope to West Byfleet, Surrey, franked with $1 Trans-Atlantic surcharge, no comma variety, tied by St. John's machine cancelation, minor cover folds and wrinkles away from the stamp, with the London Foreign Section 66 7 Jan 20" label on back. A scarce cover from the second "Martinsyde" supplementary mail, only 25 flown (of the total of 70 carried by pilots Raynham & Morgan. Francis Field states that as the flight was delayed, the mail bag, originally made up on May 18, was opened on July 12, and an additional 25 covers, all franked with the $1 Surcharge, were added.) The flight crashed on takeoff, and Raynham subsequently went to England by ship, forgetting to turn the mail over to the P.O. until January 7, 1920, so the covers were not backstamped until then. An important pioneer trans-Atlantic attempted flight, as well as a major crash cover (Image)
