New Zealand 1937 (31st Dec) Samoa to New Zealand intermediate printed commem card "Pan American Airways Trans-Pacific Flight USA-NZ First Official Air Mail" with ½d & 2½d Samoa tied by Apia cds dated 31 DE 37. "Samoan Clipper" arrived Auckland on 26th Dec 1937 with a later flight departing Samoa for NZ on the 11th Jan 1938 but this was lost mid-air with no survivors & no mail salvaged hence how this cover left Samoa on 31st Dec 1937 needs research.
