Vancouver BC Interrupted Mail, the 1954 Moose Jaw Airplane CRASH. A fire singed, but still remarkably intact and well-preserved example “Salved From T.C.A. Wreck” carried on the TCA North Star aircraft which crashed in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan on April 8th 1954. The aircraft collided over Moose Jaw with a T33 jet trainer on a NATO exercise, killing 36 of the passengers onboard. This particular cover, sent from Toronto to Vancouver was repaired by the Vancouver P.O. before being forwarded to the recipient (likely in a larger "ambulance" cover with P.O. apology note).
