"NEPA / HORSENS 1936" stamp show, registered 6 September 1936 airmail flight cover to the U.S. As part of the stamp show, a special first flight between Horsens and København was arranged with a special handstamped cachet in red. These covers bear that cachet, a separate airmail receiving postmark, and the special stamp show NEPA cancellation. Sent by registered mail, with airmail within Europe (and then supposedly sea mail to the U.S.), via Hamburg, Germany. Scott #234 and 239 [1934 25 øre brown Caravel Type I and 1934 50 øre gray Engraved Christian X] paying the 75 øre rate. NEPA covers sent by show-goers as souvenirs within Denmark are fairly typical, but sent to other countries is quite unusual.
