Description

Crew-signed flown postal cover from the billionaire’s historic 1938 round-the-world flight

Scarce and impressive flight-flown commemorative airmail postal cover, 9.5 x 4, carried by Hughes on his triumphant 1938 around-the-world flight. The cover, issued in conjunction with the 1939 New York World’s Fair, bears several postage stamps, postmarks, and rubber stamps indicating the primary stops on the record-setting journey: Paris, Moscow, Omsk, Yakutsk, Fairbanks, Minneapolis, and the final destination, New York City. The front of the envelope has been nicely signed in fountain pen by Hughes, his co-pilot, Harry Connor, radioman Dick Stoddard and flight engineer Edward Lund. In fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
