About First Flight Covers (FFC's) in General

FIRST FLIGHT COVERS are  letters actually flown on the first  flight of a new airline or air mail service. As such they are tangible artifacts relating to local history. Unlike First Day Covers they exist in only very low numbers.  Few flights had more than a few thousand covers on board, sometimes much less, and a lot of those have not survived as most are 60 to 90 years old.

They are a great item to collect in general and also are great items for collectors of local historical memorabilia.
