3069 c ImageCOLOMBIA, 1920, 30c on 10c Air Post, Typewritten Surcharge, Period Instead of Dash (Sanabria 29 var). Variety showing "0.30" instead of "0-30", used with National 5c (2), tied by violet "Agencia de Medellin" oval handstamp and Dec. 25, 1920 circular datestamp on "Compania Colombiana de Exportacion" cover to New York, additionally franked with 1c "Hospital de San Vicente, Medellin" charity stamp tied by another Dec. 25 circular datestamp, oval Cartagena transit backstamp

VERY FINE. A REMARKABLE COVER OF THE 30-CENT SURCHARGE VARIETY - FLOWN ON THE CRASHED RETURNED FLIGHT OF THE "MEDELLIN" AND ULTIMATELY RESENT VIA SURFACE MAIL. ONLY THREE COVERS HAVE BEEN RECORDED AND THE ONLY EXAMPLE TO A FOREIGN DESTINATION.

Few typewritten surcharged covers have survived as they were used on the return flight of the Medellin from Medellin to Cartagena via Puerto Berrio. The plane ran out of fuel on the way to Puerto Berrio and ultimately crashed and was destroyed. Most mail was destroyed but the pilot Bazin managed to salvage some covers and canoed back to Medellin where they were consequently sent by surface mail for onward delivery. Also of note, the Medellin Agency marking is very rarely used. The perfect addition to any Colombian Air Post exhibit.

Illustrated in Bortfelt on page 70. Ex Preston, Neuberger and Johnson. With 2014 Moorhouse certificate. (Image)
