Route : New Hebrides to Noumea, by ship or local airline; FAM 19 Honolulu Clipper departed Auckland June 6 to Noumea, departing Noumea June 7 to San Francisco; USA domestic airlines to Boston,MA. Backstamped Noumea May 26, 1941

Notes : Endorsed Via Noumea indicating this cover was to connect with Pan Am's clipper service at Noumea, New Caledonia. I do not know if there were any airline companies serving the New Hebrides at this time, so it is quite possible this cover went by ship to Noumea. Censored in New Hebrides. Uncommon origin for a Pacific Clipper air cover.
