I have done the best research I could. I have all the materials from AAMC, Haiti Philatelic Society (I joined) Haiti Philately--Huber, The Airpost Journal --Singley, and this one confounds me.In the Lindberghiana section of AAMC I find the Caribbean Flights of Lindbergh. the L-33 is Feb 4 from Santo Domingo to Port Au Prince.
the L-34 is Feb 6 from Santo Domingo to Havana and the L-35 is Port Au Prince to Havana dated Feb 7th. That said the cover in question is from Port Au Prince to Santo Donmingo with the correct Lindbergh markings on front and a backstamp dated Feb 9th Santo Domingo. It seems curious that this is a variation not listed and the question beckons, who actually took this cover from Port Au Prince to it's final destination, Santo Domingo without even having a Havana Marking on back?

So I have found some additional info. It would appear that this is NOT a Lindbergh flown cover just one exchanged via the regular inland service between islands on the same day. The post office just marked it all up the same as if it were. I see its somewhat rare though with 119 letters flown (West Indian Aerial Express) so there's that. Huber-29


Interesting stuff for sure.
Deeper reading always does the trick. lol
