Shortly after the Northwest Air Lines plane took off from Seattle at 12:07 pm it encountered bad weather and crashed 3 miles west of Reardon, Washington. The plane was torn to bits and the mail was strewn over a wide area. All of the mail was badly damaged. (Ref. Crash Covers An Aerophilatelic Challenge by Joseph Eisendrath, 1979). Ironically the letter is addressed to the Great American Insurance Company. Interesting quick claim?
