The postmark on that Airmail Week cover from Wrights, PA is a DPO today. I find it interesting that the purple rubber stamp above the cachet refers to Colussy Airport. Based on this period photo it doesn't look like much of an airport (although the rocket car demo shown is rather interesting):

Your first flight cover to Dublin is Catalog number F18c in the American Airmail Catalog. There were 20,631 pieces of mail flown which makes it quite common. The backstamp that reads Baile Atha Cliath is the name in Gaelic for Dublin of course. There were many legs on this this first flight and you would need a total of 18 covers to have one of each. All are common so it would not cost much more than your time to assemble a collection of the 18.
