CL42 White Horse to Wernecke FFC. A very scarce Semi-Official Airmail First Flight Cover, November 24th 1927 White Horse to Wernecke (franked with the Yukon Airways and Exploration 25c semi-official). This flight (AAMC #CL42-2703a) was interrupted halfway by either weather conditions or oil trouble and the 70 pieces of mail on the flight were finally carried to Werneke by dog team! A nice documented and very small quantity piece of semi-official airmail/dog team combination carriage! Valued in the ancient (1997) American Air Mail catalogue at US$200.00. Should be worth more after 25 years without an updated price. Estimate =
