Notes
Stamp collectors and dealers could prepare mail in advance for Hindenburg's first flight to carry mail and request the onboard cancel. Most likely, this mail was canceled in advance in the Friedrichshafen post office, bagged and sealed, delivered to Hindenburg, flown on the sixth trial flight, and then offloaded for delivery. Mail posted aboard by passengers and crew received the cancel during flight.
