1919 (12 July) cover franked with $1 on 15c vermilion, canceled St. John's, addressed to London, with 7 Jan, 1920 arrival. This was carried on the second attempted flight on Martinsyde "Raymor", arriving at St. John's aboard the steamer Sachem on 11 April, 1919; the first attempt was made on May 18, 1919. On takeoff, the aircraft dipped in soft spot, the landing gear dug in and the plane was severely damaged. The navigator, Charles W.F. Morgan, sustained injuries that incapacitated him for a second attempt. After the aircraft was rebuilt, this second attempt took place on July 17; the navigator was Lieutenant Biddlecombe. The aircraft became airborne, but nose-dived into the ground and was completely wrecked, both crew escaped injuries. No further attempts were made. Cover with filing fold away from the stamps, signed Bolaffi, Diena, etc., with their certificates. A classic Air Post rarity, only 85 covers prepared with St. John's postmark (AAMC FF-2a, $3,400) (Image)
