    Chile 1928 (July 9): Large part of cover to Bogotá franked with handstamped 'CH' in black on Scadta 1923 30 c. blue (toned gum) with small part strike of Scadta cds on top together with Chile 10 c. + 20 c. Presidentes, all tied by Valparaiso cds, backstamped with boxed handstamp (Aug.10) on arrival. Cover trimmed on all four sides and stuck back together. Another 'Scadta' cover from Chile to this same addressee is known to have travelled overland to Bogotá, as there is no evidence of beeing flown, but nevertheless an interesting and rare attempt to use the Scadta Service. Illustrated on page 166 in Los Primeros Cincuenta Anos de Correo Aereo by Gebauer & Londoño (1975). Cert. Moorhouse (2014).
