    Description

    Effective June 15, 1931, American Airlines’ Contract Air Mail Route 20 was extended from Nashville, Tennessee to Fort Worth, Texas via the intermediate points of Memphis, Tennessee, Little Rock, Arkansas, Texarkana, Arkansas-Texas, and Dallas, Texas, in order that a shorter and more direct air route might be provided between the Northeast and Southwest.
    A cachet was provided for mail flown from Syracuse to Nashville.
    This cover was carried on the
    inaugural Contract Air Mail Route 20 flight from Syracuse, New York to Nashville, Tennessee (where it was backstamped).
