Description: This lot contains a USS Macon flight cover (not flown) from April 20, 1934, as described below. The postmarks and cachets commemorate the passing of the USS Macon over various locations or Navy ships. As the USS Macon and USS Akron were military vessels, little, if any, mail was carried after the first few flights of the Akron in 1932 and two flights - one in 1933 and one in 1934 - by the Macon.This cover commemorates the 23rd of the MACON from Moffett Field TO Opa Locka (Miami), Florida, arriving on the 22nd.Arlight, CA, is currently inside the Vandenberg Air Force Base Space Complex. Arguello Point and Lighthouse are just to the west. The is the NW entry point to the Santa Barbara Channel, the "Graveyard of the Pacific." Cover included:4/20/1934 Arlight, CA, postmark with Julius Hulff "MACON flies to Miami, Graveyard of the Pacific" cachet. This cover is not listed in Ullmann/Mellone's, but is similar to others Hulff made for this date. This cover is #3 out of 10. The airmail envelope has a tucked flap. Condition is shown in the pics. The cover shows minimal toning and is in quite nice shape - exhibition quality. Ullmann/Mellone's values similar covers at $125.00.
