1924-26 AMUNDSEN - ELLSWORTH ATTEMPTED FLIGHT OVER THE NORTH POLE: 19 Jun. 1924 small card from Sutton Coldfield with printed address to "THE TRANS POLAR FLIGHT EXPEDITION/CHRISTIANIA/NORWAY" the reverse side headed "NORTH POLE MAIL" with Norway 5o (damaged) & 25o tied by fine "KINGS BAY" cds. Fine and rare, but philatelic. Note: the special postcards were sold by subscription to finance the Amundsen & Ellsworth attempted flight over the North Pole. They were sold in the USA and the to Norway side was usually franked with USA adhesives. The use of a GB adhesive (1½d 1924 BEE) is rare. Cross Reference: NORWAY, AIR MAIL COVERS
