Description: Through-plane service from Atlanta to Los Angeles was inaugurated on February 15, 1960 by Delta Airlines and American Airlines. Both airlines cooperated in providing interchange service between the Southeast and the West Coast since 1949. Delta Airlines’ new DC-8 planes made the trip in 4 hours, 13 minutes. This cover was carried on the inaugural jet flight from Los Angeles, California to Atlanta, Georgia (where it was backstamped) and is listed in The Jet Age Flights Section of The American Air Mail Catalogue as J-443.
