Description: On July 1, 1979 Western Airlines' (later absorbed by Delta Airlines) service was extended eastward from Minneapolis / St. Paul to Milwaukee. The inaugural service was provided by two flights, one of which originated in Idaho Falls and used a Boeing 737 via Denver, Rapid City, Pierre, Sioux Falls and Minneapolis / St. Paul. The second flight, utilizing a Boeing 727, originated in San Francisco, operated nonstop to Minneapolis / St. Paul, then flew to Milwaukee. This cover was carried on the inaugural Western Airlines flight from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Pierre, South Dakota (where it was backstamped) and is listed in The American Air Mail Catalogue as WA-D15W.
