Stephen Smith autograph on back along with his handwritten note : " only 35 covers carried on flight" Very scarce and good condition.C.J. Chan was a stamp dealer who prepared covers for many early Siam inland air mail flights. On October 2, 1928, mail left Bangkok on the inauguration of Bangkok-Marseilles, France-London, England service. The mail was flown over the Marseilles-London leg of the route. Fawdry reports that there were only about 35 covers carried on this air mail first flight, the small number probably due to the fact that the public did not feel justified in paying additional postage for the savings of half a day of transit time. The majority of these covers were prepared by Chan.
