SOUTHERN AFRICA the Swiss pilot Walter Mittelholzer made...
SOUTHERN AFRICA the Swiss pilot Walter Mittelholzer made the first north-south flight across Africa. It took him 77 days. Mittelholzer started in Zurich on 7th Dec 1926, flying via Alexandria and landing in Cape Town on 21st Feb 1927. Most of the mail carried was delivered to either Athens or Cairo. This lot includes a cover to Athens with the boxed Schweizer Afrikaflug cachet, a cover to Alexandria and a registered cover to Pretoria, both with the same cachet. All three covers have been cancelled Zurich 28 XI 26. A signed PPC by Mittelholzer dated Rome 16.II.30 accompanies the covers. A very fine & scarce group.
