USS Macon ZRS5 Naval Flight Cover Moffett Field Nov 5 1934 Zeppelin Hacker Cach

Description

This lot contains a USS Macon flight cover (not flown) from November 5, 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 four flights - two in 1933 and two in 1934 - by the Macon.
This cover commemorates the 27th flight from Moffett Field, to Southern California and the Pacific, upship on November 5th, returning on the 9th.
Cover included:
11/5/1934 Moffett Field postmark with Edward Hacker cachet, Ullmann/Mellone's #1.2 for this date.  The cover has a tucked flap. It is addressed to the cachet-maker in his own hand.
Condition is as shown in the pics.  The cover shows minimal toning and is in quite nice shape.
Ullmann/Mellone's  reports 15 covers made and values the cover at 0.00.
