Rare flight-flown commemorative cover, 9.75 x 4.5, carried by Hughes on his 1938 trans-global flight, bearing several stamps and postmarks from various stops on his three day trip: Paris; Moscow, Omsk, Yakutsk (in the Soviet Union); Fairbanks, Alaska; Minneapolis, and New York. Signed on the front in blue ink by both Hughes and co-pilot Harry Connor. In fine condition, with tip of one postal cancellation touching the beginning of Connor’s signature.
In 1938, Hughes set a new around-the-world record of 3 days, 19 hours and 8 minutes. The flight took off on July 10 from an airfield on Long Island, New York, in a specially designed Lockheed 14N "Super Electra" aircraft with a range of nearly 5,000 miles, making stops in the aforementioned cities. Aviation history autographed by an avid and daring pilot who just so happened to also be one of the world’s wealthiest men. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
