The volume will be about 300 pages with over 300 illustrations, the book is hardbound and in full color.

"Am enjoying a nice crossing". Card written by passenger Burtis Dolan.

The first two chapters are dealing with the pre-crash mail dispatch at Frankfurt Auslandsstelle (foreign section) and Luftpoststelle (airmail section). Chapter three is dealing with the operation of the onboard post office. Chapter four is dealing with the American eastbound mail dispatch. And then comes the crash....
