Antwort auf: Südamerikafahrt 1930:”Echte” Bordpost vom 19.5.30

Hallo Klaus und Alfred,

No mercy, then, for my poor card in the Anhänge Afb 9a/b, just part of the 99%, despite the pretty picture on the other side …

Could you please explain the notion ‘die fehlende Leitwegsvorgabe’ that Alfred uses as an exhibit. Would that be an indication that the piece went ‘off board’ somewhere, e.g. Sevilla, Recife, Rio, Lakehurst, Sevilla2 or Friedrichshafen, and must have been in the pocket of a passenger or crew member? I guess that would be quite convincing, though still circumstantial evidence only: there are counterexamples, like in real crime. I consider the creation of Ludwig Knorr in Anhänge Afb 26a/b as real Bordpost, despite Ludwig’s effort to collect some cancellations on the way.

Cheers,

Dik
