Seller's Description
FAM 14-1b SAN FRANCISCO to HONOLULU HAWAII
First Day Cover
SCOTT AIRMAIL #C20, SCV $35.00
Addressed to Lancaster, PA
Open Flap
FAM-14: FAM-14 was awarded to Pan American Airways. On June 2, 1927 Juan Trippe formed an airline, “Aviation Corporation of America” with two allies. Sonny Whitney and John Hambleton were directors and Juan Trippe was in charge of operations. In order to procure a route to Cuba, the airline merged with two others to form Pan American Airways. Trippe became president and general manager. He had obtained a contract from the federal government to fly mail from Key West to Camp Colombia, Havana Cuba. It was the first contract for the carriage of mail to a foreign country from the US. Trippe had bought two Fokker planes and had a ground crew preparing an airport at Meacham Field in Key West FL. He had a deadline with the government to begin the service. Although two runways had been completed, heavy rain had been falling for two days and the airport became a swamp. To meet his contractual deadline, Trippe decided to charter a seaplane to make the flight. He talked pilot Cy Caldwell into making the flight with “La Nina” a Fairchild FC-2 floatplane that Cy was flying for the West Indian Aerial Express. On October 19, 1927 La Niña, piloted by Cy Caldwell and chartered by Trippe, took off from Key West landing at Camp Colombia, Havana Cuba 1H 20M later. FAM-14 was awarded to Pan Am and on November 22, 1935 flying a Martin M-130 piloted by Edwin C Musick, it inaugurated flight service from San Francisco CA west across the Pacific Ocean to Manila Philippines and later round-the-world.

Hi! This item came from a new collection I purchased of 19th
century covers & FLS's. Many of the covers will have faults typical of items that went through the mail during that time. Some will have less wear, and some will have more, so please, view my high quality scans carefully, and form your own opinion of condition.
In general, they will be in fine condition. Additional information upon request. Just message me!
Thanks for looking, and thanks in advance for your bids or purchase!
