    Description

    Peoria was added to Continental Airlines’ Air Mail Route 29 by a decision in the Peoria Service Investigation, rerouting some flights between Kansas City and Chicago.
    This cover was carried on the February 28, 1977 inaugural Air Mail Route 29 flight from
    Kansas City, Missouri
    to
    Peoria, Illinois
    (where it was backstamped
    ) and is listed in the Contract Air Mail Flights (CAM) section of The American Air Mail Catalogue as 12NE94.
    The Kansas City Postmaster autographed the cover.
