English: Covers flown Eastbound (top) and Westbound (bottom) on the first flights on CAM-5 between Pasco, WA, and Elko, NV. April 6, 1926
Notes
The postal stationary cover (U436h) flown Eastbound is also an unusual 3-cent carmine error (Die 5). The correct color for 3-cent printed postage is violet; carmine is the color for 2-cents.
The cover flown Westbound and autographed by pilot Franklin Rose is also a "crash cover" as the first leg of the flight was forced 75-miles off course by storms enroute from Elko to Boise before making a forced landing near Jordan Valley. The pilot and mail remained missing for two days until pilot Rose finally managed to reach a telephone on April 8 after carrying the 98 pounds of mail for many miles out of the wilderness by foot and later on a horse borrowed from a farmer. The mail finally arrived at the Post Office in Pasco late in the morning of April 9, three days after leaving Elko.
