Description: Under a new Civil Aeronautics Board Order, Pan American was authorized to serve the entire Bahamas group – not merely Nassau and Rock Sound as heretofore – and to fly from Washington, D.C. (Dulles Airport) as well as New York. This meant that Freeport, the booming second city in the Bahamas, could be served by Pan Am for the first time, and that Washington would have direct flights to the islands. This cover was carried on the inaugural Foreign Air Mail Route 5 flight from the John F Kennedy Airport Mail Facility in New York to Freeport, Bahamas (where it was backstamped) and is listed in the Foreign Air Mail Flights (FAM) Section of The American Air Mail Catalogue as F5-320F.
