A twin engine Piper Commanche plane, on a flight from Anchorage, Alaska to Oslo, Norway crashed in the Yukon after having engine trouble. The disappearance of the plane caused the widest Alaskan & Yukon search until that time & after 18 days, the pilot T. Tjonveidt & the navigator E.S.Pederson were found alive but injured. Only 6 covers, prepared by the addressee, were carried by the pilot to Inuvik & cancelled there on October 27, 1967. No special crash cachet was applied, but both the pilot & navigator autographed the cover.
Very rare item. great exhibit piece for the Centennial or Interrupted mail collector.
