1935 (Nov 21) Cover from Pernambuco to Bathurst franked 4200r, bearing a "Por Zeppelin / RECIFE - BATHURST" label with circular "SERVICIO AEREO TRANSOCEANICO / CONDOR / ZEPPELIN / LUFTHANSA / BRASIL - EUROPA" and a Bathurst arrival c.d.s (Nov 25). In November the seaplane tenders "Westfalen" and "Schwabenland" were withdrawn for repairs, the service being maintained by the "Graf Zeppelin" with mail being dropped and picked up by rope at Bathurst. This occurred on three flights of the Zeppelin, special labels being used on these flights on mail to Bathurst. Very fine.
