Initial service along this 754-mile route was one daily trip each way, except Mondays and days after holidays – southbound; Sundays and holidays – northbound.This cover was carried on the December 1, 1928 inaugural Contract Air Mail Route 25 flight from Jacksonville, Florida 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 25S2.Pitcairn Aviation sold its airline and air mail contracts (Contract Air Mail Routes 19 and 25) in order to concentrate on aircraft manufacturing in early 1929.
