400   imageFrance, 1929 (Feb. 19), 2 covers from the crash of the "Dragon d'Annam" at Bondy (France), from the first postal liaison attempted by the Dragon d'Annam; both in great shape and with violet 3-line "RAID INTERROMPU/PAR ACCIDENT/Retour à l'envoyeur" cachet. Each has its own charm:

The first was one of 542 pieces of mail (of the 10,000 carried) that erroneously received a standard c.d.s. postmark instead of the commemorative "POSTE AÉRIENNE/18 */19-2/29/* FRANCE-INDO-CHINE *" postmark; the original stamps were handstamped "ANNULÉ" and new postage added (on reverse) receiving the commemorative strike; meaning the cover bears 41 Francs postage total (including some lovely Mersons) - which probably helped offset it odyssey back to sender: cover front has "PYRENEES PARIS 29/16-2/29" c.d.s. and multiple "PARIS VI/4 III 29" c.d.s.'s; reverse bears "BIARRITZ/1640/16-2/29/Bses PYRENEES" and "CIBOURE/1145/1-3/29/Bses PYRENEES" c.d.s.'s; so sent from Ciboure, intended for Hanoi, returned to Paris, forwarded to Biarritz, then tio Ciboure and then back to Paris where the sender was staying.

The second cover originally received the correct commemorative postmark, is noted 'par "Dragon d'Annam"/France-Indochine" manuscript upper left front, while back flap has, in the same hand, "Bon voyage pour les/Aviateurs/Prière conserver enveloppe", with a fourth commemorative strike bottom center and an indistinct roller cancel at top.

Accompanied by contemporary photo post card of Costes (one of the Dragon's pilots) and Rignot, and an official French press release photo of the plane getting ready to leave for Saigon, noted on back in pencil "Depart de Coste pour Saigon" with blue double-circle "AGENCE PHOTOGRAPHIQUE FRANÇAISE/27, Fg Montmartre/PARIS-IXe", Very Fine, simply a magnificent pair of covers with collateral material, all working together to tell a great story.
Nierinck 290219a & 290219b; SFr 650 ($670).
Estimate $200 - 300

The Bréguet 284T left Le Bourget but developed engine troubles shortly after take-off, forcing it to land on the outskirts of Bondy station. The plane was completely destroyed, and its crew of 3, Costes, Codos and Bellone, were lightly injured. Mail was returned to senders with the special violet cachet applied to these two covers.
