    Description

    South Bend was added to the Delta Airlines system on February 1, 1992. Inaugural service consisted of three
    daily nonstop flights from its Cincinnati hub. Philatelic treatment was not requested.
    No cachet was provided for the inaugural mail. South Bend refused to backstamp the covers received from
    Cincinnati.
    McDonnell Douglas DC-9S equipment was used on the inaugural flights.
    This cover was one of
    only 11 pieces of mail
    carried on the inaugural Delta Airlines flight from the Cincinnati, Ohio Airport Mail Facility to SOuth Bend, Indiana and is listed in The American Air Mail Catalogue as DL-D198Wf
