1936 : U. S. - Canada Rocket Flight

A rocket flight was planned from the United States across Niagara Falls, Canada, in conjunction with the 1936 Third Annual International Exhibition (TIPEX) held in New York. German dealer Karl Henning prepared stamps, covers and cancellations, but the flight did not take place.
This post shows the labels and covers for the proposed rocket flight.
