SOVIET AIRMAIL ROUTE: SARATOV - PENZA
Saratov 1938 (26 June) - Domestic Registered envelope to Penza, sent via the AIRLINE SARATOV-PENZA. Franked with a 20k postal stationery uprated with Soviet Definitives, making up the correct airmail rate (80k, tariff of 16 February 1938). Arrival on back Penza 28 June 1938. Very Fine.
The route between Penza and Saratov was opened for air traffic in the late 1920s, as an extension of the Moscow-Penza air route (opened 1925).
Scarce Soviet Airline, a few covers known.
