On February 18, 1912, a private postal flight was carried out between Bork and Bruck.

An ex-pupil, Hermann Pentz, flew a mail sack containing approximately 400 covers - the first cover being addressed to Kaiser Wilhelm II. The flight caused some consternation, as Pentz only obtained his pilot’s license two days after the flight. . R<>A SCARCE COVER IN LOVELY QUALITY. Cover (Image1)
