    1925/1972: Collection of over 110 Airmail covers, beginning with a couple 1925 internal flights in both directions RIO - CORDOBA, two 1932 ZEPPELIN PAN-AMERICA flights, as well as a range of subsequent flights. Mail to Europe dominates this collection, with a good range of advertising cards for the competing CONDOR and AIR FRANCE service. A CRISTOBAL CZ plane crash cover from 1937 with stamps missing bears testimony to the difficulties aviation pioneers faced. The collection also includes the rare 1932 first experimental flight from BUENOS AIRES to MONTEVIDEO, as well as the first direct flight from BUENOS AIRES to NEW YORK. A fine lot for the airmail enthusiast.
