Route : FAM 6-10 to Miami; USA domestic airlines to San Francisco; FAM 14 ANZAC clipper to Hawaii; offloaded at Hilo; censored in Hawaii; most probably onward to New Zealand by ship.

Notes : On Dec 6,1941, the ANZAC Clipper, NC 18611, departed San Francisco on what would be it's Last Pre-war Flight. As the ANZAC approached Hawaii on the morning of Dec 7, it was informed by radio that Hawaii was under attack by the Japanese. The ANZAC was diverted to a River landing at Hilo, where all mail was quickly offloaded, and the ANZAC Clipper returned to San Francisco. The date of the postmark, and the fact that this cover has the RELEASED BY I.C.B. 207 Censor marking of Hawaii, confirms that this cover was carried on the last flight of the ANZAC Clipper, and arrived in Hawaii during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

Rate : $1.08 West Indies
