EXTREMELY RARE PLANE CRASH: Airmail cover dispatched on 18/FE/1961 from ship Yapeyú at sea to Europe, with Argentine postage of 10P. (GJ.1140 + 1199 x5), it was unloaded in Natal, Sal or Tenerife to be loaded in the IBERIA Lockheed L1049 Super Constellation airplane that flew Madrid - Tenerife - Sal - Natal - Sao Paulo - Montevideo - Buenos Aires - Santiago, and that crashed landed at the airport of Congonhas in Sao Paulo on 6/MAR/1961 due to strong cross winds. The passengers and crew were quickly evacuated (there were no casualties), but the plane caught fire and was almost complety destroyed, very few elements could be salvaged, such as this letter, with evident signs of the fire. It was put inside an ambulance cover by the Brazilian Post and sent to its final destination, with the typical violet handstamp. Excellent and very rare cover for airmail experts, possibly UNIQUE piece dispatched from a ship at sea and salvaged from a plane crash related to Argentina!

(total 47c.) sent by registered airmail, on back it bears transit marks of Buenos Aires (15/AP) and Asunción (22/AP). According to notes of its previous owner, this would be the first airmail piece flown between both cities, but looking at the arrival date I reckon ground mail would have arrived sooner!
