 Collection on The Hillig & Hoiriis 1931 Flight from Harbour Grace Newfoundland to Denmark, (AAMC Flight #FF-43), well annotated by owner on pages, and includes five original photographs of the aviators and airplane, two flown and
signed covers and two promotional and advertising items, and features a probably unique telegraph form presenting the Official Flight Record of the Danish plane “The Spirit of Liberty” on June 22, 1931 and shows the route flown over various cities
and the times, starting from St. John, New Brunswick to Anderson's Cove, Newfoundland. This was one leg of the flight that had started in Liberty, New York and that would eventually take the aviators to Copenhagen, Denmark a few day later. The
telegraph form is franked with a trio of the 1931 15¢, 50¢ and $1 Airmail issues, which are signed by both of the aviators. This item is ex Newfoundland airmail expert, Peter Motson, who used it in his Best-in-Class Aerophilately award-winning
exhibit at the London 2010 International Stamp Exhibition. Motson also highlighted the piece on page 65 in his BNAPS Exhibit Series No. 54 revised book, “Newfoundland Airmail Stamps and Airmail Flights: 1918-1948,”. An excellent collection for the
specialist, or for anyone wanting to expand on it. Everything is scanned, including backs of items that show more information on them. (Scan 1)
