PAN AMERICAN WORLD AIRWAYS released on 26 July 1947 a cover commemorating their first direct airmail flight from Damascus to New York using a Boeing 314 Clipper. A cachet in red Arabic/Roman script highlighted the flight. Two Syrian stamps were affixed to the cover: a plane flying over Kattineh Dam, circa 1946-1947; and a plane flying overhead and Kanawat at Djebel Druze, circa 1946. Postmark originated from Damascus.
