Delta Airlines First Flight Atlanta Georgia - Frankfurt Germany - 1979

Description: A little more than a year after Delta Airlines inaugurated transatlantic service to London, it added Frankfurt as a second European city, using a Lockheed L-1011. The USPS granted official cachets at both offices. The eastbound covers were backstamped at Frankfurt on June 18. This cover was carried on the inaugural Delta Airlines flight from Atlanta, Georgia to Frankfurt, Germany (where it was backstamped) and is listed in The American Air Mail Catalogue as DL-F5.
