| Abstract: | Most of the Brazilian mail flown on the 1930 Pan-America Flight of airship LZ-127 Graf Zeppelin was mailed either at Recife or Rio. Mail from Brazilian cities other then Rio and Recife usually comes with a M.P. cachet applied next to the Condor markings. M.P. means mao proprio which translates to personally. The purpose of the M.P. marking was to indicate airmail which was delivered at a Condor agency rather then at a Brazilian post office. The Arbeitsgemeinschaft Brasilien is working on a documentation of all known Condor agencies, and according to their information Condor agencies were operating in 25 Brazilian cities. [excerpt] |
