The Makowski Flight from Los Angeles to Poland 1938 (May 13 - June 5): Airmail envelope from "Buenos Aires May 24" franked with 15 c. to Warsaw, carried by a team of LOT Polish Airlines personnel, headed by General Manager Major Wacław Makowski on their experimental flight from Los Angeles via Southamerica back to Poland in a Lokheed 14H Super Electra. Envelope with special flight cachet in violet and "Warszawa 2 "LOT" 5.VI.38.18" arrival mark on reverse. Fine and scarce.rnThe team delivered an L–14H Super Electra aircraft, the fifth Lockheed long–distance civilian passenger and cargo aircraft purchased by LOT (registration SP–LMK). They took off from Burbank, California, and, after touring back South America, crossed the South Atlantic from Natal, Brazil to Dakar,Senegal traveling 1,908 miles (3,070 km) in 11 hours 10 minutes, then via Rome to Warszawa. The distance covered was 15,441 miles (24,850 km) and the flying time was 85 hours, quite a feat at that time. The flight marked a milestone in air freight as, until then, airliners were delivered across the Atlantic as deck cargo on ships. See AIRPOST JOURNAL February 2013 article by Jerzy W. Kupiec–Weglinski and Jacek Kosmala.Ausruf : 300 CHFZuschlag : 600 CHFLosnr. : 572 Argentinien
