This First Flight Cover
commemorates the expansion of Air Mail Route A.M. 107 through Muscatine, Iowa.
Postmarked January 9, 1951, it features a distinctive purple "cachet"
illustrating the flight path between Davenport, Iowa, and St. Louis, Missouri.
The envelope is signed by Muscatine Postmaster Albert S. Barry and addressed to Newburgh, New York. It bears two 3-cent commemorative stamps: the 1950 California Statehood Centennial and the Boy Scouts of America issue, totaling the 6-cent airmail rate.
