Route : The FAM 14 Philippine Clipper departed Macau November 22 and arrived San Francisco Nov 29;
USA domestic airlines to New York; FAM 18 Atlantic Clipper departed New York on Dec 7, and arrived at Lisbon on Dec 14, after a 6 day delay in Bermuda.
backstamped Lisbon, Dec 15.
Notes : Uncommon two-ocean airmail cover from Macau, endorsed via Pan American Airways upper right corner indicating Pan Ams two-ocean Pacific + Atlantic Clipper service.
The cover was only 23 days in transit to cross two oceans and the continental USA, despite a 6 day delay in Bermuda from Dec 7 to the 13th, probably due to bad weather over the North Atlantic.
Rate : 2p10a - two-ocean rate, 4gr weight.
