Notes
Stamp dealer Francis J. Field received this onboard mail from the Olympics flight with the Berlin pneumatic mail receiving cancel. The Frankfurt railway post office 19 applied the cancel to mail under cover (inside a larger envelope addressed to the post office), bagged it, sealed the bag, and delivered it to Hindenburg for the flight. The added Olympics label is nicely tied by the round flight cachet.
