1938 (Dec 2) Deutsche Lufthansa crash of the Berlin-Baghdad flight near Vienna, reportedly the only known cover (though Nierinck illustrates another) from a small part of the mail recovered. It had been returned to sender, and is offered together with letter (small faults) from Chemnitz P.O. datelined 31 May 1939 replying to the sender’s query about the circumstances (not, as Nierinck states, enclosed with the recovered mail) (Nierinck 381202a)
