Symbol:Cat No:30A

1912 (May 30-Jun 2), Cicero-Elmhurst-Wheaton (Ill.) Triple City Aviation Meet (AAMC 30a), picture postcard with a 1¢ Washington tied by May 31, "1 - PM" Cicero flag cancel, picture side (a real photo of the club house at the Elmhurst Golf Club) bears the message, dated May 30, "This will be the first mail that you receive via Air Mail Service."; minor corner crease, Very Fine,

AAMC states that on May 30 "Aviator Max Lillie…flew a sack of mail [from Elmhurst to Cicero] but none has been reported". Three facts support the likelihood that this card was one of those carried on that flight: 1.) The cards flown from Cicero on May 31 (AAMC 30b) were supposedly postmarked at 4:30 p.m. - this one is postmarked at 1:00 p.m. (indicating that perhaps it did not actually enter the mails until the day after its arrival in Cicero); 2.) the message on the card is dated May 30; and 3.) the card pictures an Elmhurst landmark.
