    Description

    Charlotte was selected to provide feeder support for Pan American’s international services out of
    Washington’s Dulles Airport.
    Cachets were not authorized.
    The Washington
    Dulles Airport Mail Facility did properly dispatch southbound covers September 30 on the Pan American Boeing
    727 inaugural flight. Through error these covers ended up in Raleigh and received a September 30
    Raleigh backstamp.
    This cover was one of
    only 52 pieces of mail
    carried on the inaugural Pan American flight from the Washington Dulles Airport Mail Facility to Charlotte, North Carolina (and was backstamped in Raleigh)
    and
    is listed in The American Air Mail Catalogue as PA-D60Sf.
