This is a framed piece featuring the first trans-Pacific Mail Flight by a China Clipper. It features a numbered print of the plane and two letters that were on the outbound and return flights. Here is the description:
“ON THE AFTERNOON OF NOVEMBER 22, 1935, THE M-130 CHINA CLIPPER TOOK OFF FROM SAN FRANCISCO BAY TO BEGIN THE FIRST OFFICIAL TRANSPACIFIC AIRMAIL SERVICE. TEN DAYS LATER AFTER STOPS AT HONOLULU, MIDWAY ISLAND, WAKE, GUAM, AND MANILA, THE CLIPPER DEPARTED FOR A RETURN TRIP TO THE UNITED STATES.
THE TWO LETTERS HERE ARE ORIGINAL PIECES OF MAIL FROM BOTH THE OUTBOUND AND INBOUND FLIGHTS OF GLENN MARTIN'S FAMOUS CHINA CLIPPER.”
