Special-Issue Government Postal Cover Commemorating the 40th Anniversary of the Soviet Flight from the USSR to the USA Over the North Pole, 1977.
The size is 6 ½" x 4 ½", with a pre-printed postal stamp. Postally unused, published by the Ministry of Communications of the USSR, circulation unknown. The pre-printed special-issue commemorative postal stamp features the silhouette of Tupolev's ANT-25, the single-engine airplane that delivered Valeriy Chkalov and his two-men crew from Shchelkovo, a near suburb of Moscow, to Vancouver, WA in "just" 63 hours and 16 minutes, having covered 9130 km (5,674 miles).
In excellent condition.
