CHINA 1939 (Dec 5) first flight cover inscribed...
CHINA 1939 (Dec 5) first flight cover inscribed 'Chungking to Hami' (interestingly, 'Rangoon' has been crossed out and replaced with 'Hami'), with attractive 53c franking, tied commem 'Chungking 5 12 1939' cancel, violet 'Hami' cachet on reverse (a little soiling). A very scarce cover, the flight being the first attempt to re-start the airmail service via the North West through Sinkiang and Siberia, to Europe (which closed down shortly after).
