    Description

    Direct service to and from Hilo, Hawaii’s second largest city, was made possible by a common-fare
    plan among the airlines serving the state – three mainland carriers, United Airlines [Foreign Air Mail Route 30], Pan American [Foreign Air Mail Route
    14] and Northwest Airlines [Foreign Air Mail Route 95] and two inter-island airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and Aloha Airlines.
    This cover was
    carried on the October 1, 1967
    inaugural Foreign Air Mail Route 30 flight from Hilo, Hawaii to Los Angeles,  California
    (where it was
    backstamped
    ) and is listed in the Foreign Air Mail (FAM) Section of The American Air Mail Catalogue as F30-14.
    Bill Schneider, Jr., a noted air mail historian, prepared the cover.
