Flygare, I have a couple of Cdn. First Flight Covers. I picked my first one which was from Norway House, Manitoba to Winnipeg, Manitoba because I have been to both of these places when I lived in Manitoba. The stamp is Scott # C3 that was issued on Feb. 22, 1932. This is the cover which by the way I have also posted on this week's C.O.T.W. contest:

This next First Flight Cover also has Scott # C3 on it. The letter was sent from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan to Lac La Ronge, Saskatchewan. I have been to both locations while working in this province.

This First Flight Cover bears 2 copies of Scott# C1 that was issued on Sep. 21, 1928.This is odd because the domestic air rate was 5 cents for a letter under 1 oz. The cover was sent by air from Fort McMurray, Alberta to Aklavik, Northwest Territories and is postmarked 8:00 AM Nov. 26, 1929. It is backstamped Aklavik Dec 27, 1929 and Montreal, Quebec 2 AM Jan. 20, 1930. Mike

What a beautiful cover - some 80 years old, such an interesting postmark, and I think it has a surcharge, too! Congratulations!

kannik , I have a bunch of First Flight Covers (FFC) to post when I have time. FFCs were produced from Aug. 1928 to 1939 and as you can see from the above posts I have a few from December, 1928. As far as the above FFC, it was postmarked Jan. 15, 1935 and in the below table you can see that from July 1, 1931 to March 31, 1943, the air mail rate for this period is 5 cents plus 1 cent war tax.

Thank you, MikeC99 - I remember some of that period when air mail costs were so low!I was just showing off some FFCs (all American I think, including a couple from Cape Canaveral) at my Stamp Club tonight.
