Description: Effective December 6, 1958, Northwest Airlines extended Air Mail Route 3 via a new segment from Chicago, Illinois to Miami, Florida. The inaugural flights were nonstop round trips between Chicago and Miami. This cover was carried on the inaugural Air Mail Route 3 flight from the Midway Airport Mail Facility in Chicago, Illinois to Miami, Florida (where it was backstamped) and is listed in the Contract Air Mail Flights (CAM) section of The American Air Mail Catalogue as 9S94f. Herb Hauptmann, a noted air mail historian, prepared the cover. On April 15, 2008, Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines announced a merger agreement. The merger of the two carriers formed what was then the largest commercial airline in the world, with 786 aircraft. Delta Air Lines' brand survived, while Northwest's brand officially ended in 2009.
