    Description

    Braniff again expanded its BAC 1-11 network by bringing jet service
    to Fort Worth, Texas on June 15, 1965
    .
    This cover was carried on the inaugural
    BAC 1-11
    flight from Fort Worth, Texas to Chicago, Illinois (where it was backstamped) and is listed in the Jet Age Section of The American Air Mail Catalogue as J-1043.
    The British Aircraft Corporation One-Eleven, also known as the BAC-111 or BAC 1-11, was a British short-range jet airliner widely used from the 1960s to the 1990s. It was the second short-haul jet airliner to enter service, following the French Sud Aviation Caravelle.
