Russell Boardman [1898 1933] was an American aviation pioneer, race pilot and stunt pilot who died on July 1, 1933 as a result of injuries sustained when his Gee Bee Model R crashed during the Bendix Trophy race. John Polando [1901 1985] was an early aviation pioneer and World War II pilot who died in 1985 from injuries he received in a crash. On July 28, 1931, Boardman and Polando took off from Floyd Bennett Field in New York and flew the distance of 5,011 miles non-stop and landed in Istanbul, Turkey setting a world distance record. Their autographs are signed on a commemorative aviation cover which commemorates a Airport Dedication. The autographs are signed”Russell Boardman” &”John L. Polando” in black fountain pen. The cover is postmarked Jun 25, 1932, and is affixed with [2] two U. The cover measures 6.50 x 3.50 inches and is in fine condition. The cover will be accompanied with two vintage photographs.
