Sharing my Rare Crash Cover from the 1937 Hindenburg disaster. This was the First North American flight,intended For Return Trip, Sieger 454Ca, with New York Paquebot and mute cancellations,illustrated on Page 59 of Arthur Falk's "Hindenburg Crash Mail".
Thanks Zepman, I was hoping to find 1 of the 176 at the link but didn't see any.
Quote: There were 17000 pieces of mail on the Hindenburg which 160 pieces were recovered burned. There were 176 pieces Having been stored in a protective, sealed container while awaiting postal service on the return flight, this uncancelled mail survived intact. A New York paquebot mark cancelled these 176 four days after the disaster. This One I posted above is a pristine example of 1 of the 176.
