    Description

    On June 1, 1959
    American Airlines added Boston to its jet service to Los Angeles. Flying Boeing 707 planes, a record eastbound
    time of 4 hours and 46 minutes was established on the first flight.
    This cover was carried on the inaugural Boeing 707 flight from Boston, Massachusetts to Los Angeles, California (where it was backstamped) and is listed in the Jet Age Flights Section of The American Air Mail Catalogue as J-75.
    The Boston Postmaster autographed the cover.
