USS Macon Navy Flight Cover Long Beach CA Sept 11 1934 Fatout Hand Painted Cach

Description: This lot contains a USS Macon dirigible cover (not flown) from September 11, 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 21st flight of the USS Macon from Moffett Field to Southern California and the Pacific. The Macon left Moffett Field on the 11th and returned on the 13th. Cover included:9/11/1934 Long Beach, CA, cancel with Oscar Fatout hand painted cachet, Ullmann/Mellone's #1.1 for this date. The airmail envelope has an open flap with gum intact. It has the cachet-maker's return address on the reverse. Condition is as shown in the pics. The cover shows minimal toning and is in nice shape. Ullmann/Mellone's values this cover at $30.00.
