This is a Kowno/Kaunas - Wilno/Vinius FFC(First flight cover) sent in 1938 from Kaunas. Despite the bad diplomatic relation between Lithuania and Poland at that time, some third party country's airlines has linked the 2 cities. The opposite direction flight (Vilnius-Kaunas) has been executed the previous day which was on 15/07 1938. The cover has been sent as Spausdinys/printed matter.
Nice Wilno/Vilnius 2 Lot/airmail arrival cancellation on the back.
amazing to find such a cover when I thought that there was no postal service
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed! I was also surprised when i have found it. Thanks for the comment!
ReplyDeleteAdditional info: It looks like it was the Finnish airline. It linked Helsinki-Tallinn-Riga-Kaunas-Wilno-Warszawa-Krakow-Budapest.
