Description: Effective on April 29, 1957, Chicago and Detroit made their first Foreign Air Mail Route 18 dispatches to Stuttgart, Germany.There was little advance notice to collectors about these flights and covers are relatively scarce. No official cachets employed. This cover was one of only 10 pieces of mail carried on the inaugural Foreign Air Mail Route 18 flight from the Detroit, Michigan Airport Mail Facility to Stuttgart, Germany (where it was backstamped) and is listed in the Foreign Air Mail (FAM) Section of The American Air Mail Catalogue as F18-271F.Bill Schneider, Jr., a noted air mail historian, prepared the cover.
