Zucker ROCKET MAIL. Seven different cacheted souvenir covers/cards commemorating Gerhard Zucker's November 1933 experimental "Aero Torpedo" flights. Each rocket flight stamp/label is different (including imperfs and surcharges) and all are tied to the covers/cards with two different cancel designs in various colours. Several covers/cards are signed by Zucker himself. Zucker was a passionate rocket enthusiast and colorful showman. He often got into trouble with the authorities and backers by over-promising results. Many planned flights never actually occurred. In the 1930s and 1940s he was famous (infamous?) on both sides of the Atlantic. The covers/cards are all in very good condition. Estimate
