On the 23 and 24 November 1938, Short S23 Empire flying boats left the UK for Alexandria where Australian and New Zealand mail from both flights was loaded on the Empire flying boat Calpurnia. The flight from Alexandria was to Tiberias on the sea of Galilee and from there to Lake Habbaniyah near Baghdad. On November 27, in the dark and during a sandstorm, the Calpurnia crashed on landing in Lake Ramadi (12 miles from Lake Habbaniyah) killing the four flight crew: pilot Captain Attwood, First Officer Spottiswood, Radio Operator Bayne-Rees and Flight Clerk Ubee. Two passengers and the stewardess survived. The RAF retrieved a large part of the mail from the water including 60 of the 69 mailbags for New Zealand. An attempt was made to dry the mail before it was sent to Sydney. The New Zealand mail was sent on to Auckland where it was dried further. Great efforts were made to deliver the mail and to decypher washed out handwriting. Several different cachets were applied in New Zealand: at Auckland, Christchurch and three at Wellington. The cover was posted in London and has a 23 November postmark. It would have been carried to Southampton to join the Imperial Airways flight on either 23 or 24 November. Many of the covers had the stamps washed off and some New Zealand post offices applied postage due markings which was against UPU regulations.

Flying Boats | The J-Class Yachts of Aviation

Marshall, Ian

(Book #ID 115145)

First edition hard back binding in publisher's original blue cloth effect covered boards, blocked and lettered silver back and front, vivid blue end papers. Landscape. 10'' x 12''. In 1930, airfields were a rarity. Aircraft companies, given the unreliability of internal combustion engines, primitive avionics, and unpredictable weather, believed that an aeroplane could carry its landing strip with it, if the field were water. The brief but brilliant age of flying boats was born. Master maritime artist Ian Marshall captures these magnificent machines in perfect detail. Contains (xvi), 136 pp illustrated with 52 full-page colour plates by the author.

Passau stamped 9th May 1933 - this item was on board the Do X on its final crash landing on the Danube. Though only three were produced in late-1920s / early-1930s Germany, the Dornier Do X was the largest flying boat of its time and flew passengers on international flights in extreme comfort during the pre-World War II years. Powered by twelve engines, the aircraft could accommodate over 100 passengers and crew and included sleeping and dining areas. This detailed and highly illustrated book covers the design, development and construction of the Do X, then explores its initial testing and short but historic use as an international airliner, and lastly discusses the ultimate fate of all three examples. The superb collection of photographs includes rare images of the Do X s construction, flights, crew, and luxurious fittings -- including many of its interior features, furniture, vintage ephemera and place settings Dust wrapper supplied in archive acetate film protection, it does not adhere to the book or to the dust wrapper.

On the 23 and 24 November 1938, Short S23 Empire flying boats left the UK for Alexandria where Australian and New Zealand mail from both flights was loaded on the Empire flying boat Calpurnia. The flight from Alexandria was to Tiberias on the sea of Galilee and from there to Lake Habbaniyah near Baghdad. On November 27, in the dark and during a sandstorm, the Calpurnia crashed on landing in Lake Ramadi (12 miles from Lake Habbaniyah) killing the four flight crew: pilot Captain Attwood, First Officer Spottiswood, Radio Operator Bayne-Rees and Flight Clerk Ubee. Two passengers and the stewardess survived. The RAF retrieved a large part of the mail from the water including 60 of the 69 mailbags for New Zealand. An attempt was made to dry the mail before it was sent to Sydney. The New Zealand mail was sent on to Auckland where it was dried further. Great efforts were made to deliver the mail and to decypher washed out handwriting. Several different cachets were applied in New Zealand: at Auckland, Christchurch and three at Wellington. The cover was posted in London and has a 23 November postmark. It would have been carried to Southampton to join the Imperial Airways flight on either 23 or 24 November. Many of the covers had the stamps washed off and some New Zealand post offices applied postage due markings which was against UPU regulations.
