No, it doesn't have an air mail stamp or cancel... But I think we all can agree it was transported via air.  It is addressed to my Grandfather at his business.  |

That's different.
It would seem to have traveled by air, unless the
airliner happened to crash into a mail truck or
other postal vehicle. |

That truck would had to have been a boat since this plane crashed in to the bay.  On a serious note three people did die out of something like 55. However this is something I would bet not everyone does have. That would at least make it unique. |

It is neat to me that I know the person it is
addressed to. It would be neat to find and
purchase a cover like this, but to know that
the mailman delivered this to my grandparents...
Priceless. |

Very nice cover 411. It's especially cool that it's a family heirloom. Crash covers are rare enough without the personal connection. |

If this one survived, there had to have been others,
but it's too late to canvass the neighborhood. |

Beautiful cover, Ratio.
That's the sort of cover I'd need for my Americana Series collection.
Congrats on the find!

I wish I could take credit for a 'find'...
but this one just came right to us.
It is in a little plastic sleeve.
Very much like the thin plastic you might get your
Sunday paper in. It is almost the same size as the
letter. I am wondering if the cover was put into
that baggie by the USPS, or if someone just put it
in there sometime since it was delivered? |

I keep telling my wife that some horrible looking covers are great little items in disguise. |

I've decided to print off the accident report,
find the full size pics, and then put them all
together with the cover in protective pages. |

Great find Ratio.
I think it's wonderful that you will put together the history of that cover. Stories like this is why I love stamps so much.

Nice cover Ratio, but when the history of a cover is located it just makes it ten fold more. |
