AUSTRALIAN FLIGHT COVERS: 1932 pair of Hans Bertram covers from his round the world attempt in a Junkers seaplane, including an exceptional one that was carried from Melbourne to Darwin, then onward to Germany only to enter the mail stream five years later. The London and Melbourne cancels on reverse (DE 8 1937 and DE 23 1937) attest to this. Second cover Sydney to Brisbane with postage due on reverse, one of only 24 flown. Scarce pair
