First Flight Cover - First Flight from Poland - Warsaw to Eretz Israel, 1936


First Flight Postal Cover - Sent from Poland to Eretz Israel, postmarked with special stamps: "First Flight Poland - Eretz Israel" in Hebrew and Polish. October 27, 1936. Sent from Warsaw to Haifa, addressed to Yitzhak Rakotz.


A rare documentation from the early days of civil aviation, which served as a bridge between the major Jewish communities in Europe and Eretz Israel. 
During the 1930s, civil aviation began to gain momentum, and important cities in the Jewish world started to establish air connections. On this postal cover, commemorating the historic event, there is an ink stamp with the inscription: "First Flight Poland - Eretz Israel" along with the date 27.10.1936. Additionally, an ink stamp depicting an airplane with buildings in both Poland and Eretz Israel appears. 
The flight was likely operated by LOT Polish Airlines, one of the active airlines at the time, which had initiated early routes connecting Warsaw or Kraków with key destinations in the Middle East.

13.5x9 cm. Good condition.
