Vin Fiz Flyer transcontinental flight, November 1, 1911:
Pilot Calbraith Rodgers became the first aviator to cross North America by air. During his adventurous 49-day tour, his wife issued the Vin Fiz stamp. Only seven are known on flown mail. This one represents the only known example that reached California on a postal card addressed to a foreign destination. |
