Air France stopped its South Atlantic service in July 1940. Pan Am Southern trans Atlantic flights only bypassed the UK Bermuda censor between March and September 1940, so not flown by Pan Am.

The LATI rate to Spain likely to have been less than that to Germany/Italy (1P 45c) since Rome is 1000 miles beyond Seville, and Germany some 500-700 miles beyond that.

Until December 1941, when USA entered the war, mail carried from Europe to North America by Pan Am, which had already been censored in Germany, was only sometimes censored again when it passed through Bermuda. A nice example of the 2x rate, and of the much lower Pan Am rate.	£25.00

Carried across the Atlantic from Montevideo to Lisbonne on the SS Massilia, and was then flown to London via Marseille.

885	1939, Dec 30 --- Venezuela to Italy, a rare uncensored early LATI WWII airmail cover, Caracas to Milan, bs 17/1/40 x 2, franked 3B 7 1/2c, canc Caracas 30/12/39 cds, ms "Por Avion New York Transatlantico Lisboa-Roma". In spite of the typed directions we believe this cover was carried to Rome by LATI, and not by Pan Am or Air France, because (1) there is no British Caribbean censorship, (2) the Pan Am rate was only c1B 30c - the rates charged by Air France and LATI were much higher, and (3) the destination is Italy. Airmail from Venezuela to be flown to Europe by Air France, was first carried by Pan Am from Caracas to Rio de Janeiro via Port of Spain, where it would have received British censorship. Also there is no Paris or Marseilles arrival ds which is usual on Air France South Atlantic mail. Boyle reports that Venezuelan airmail was sent to Europe by LATI, but that the service was seldom used (p679), and Beith notes that, although censorship was introduced after Italy entered the war on 10th June 1940, Italian censorship markings are quite rare and are usually restricted to mail originating from Italian territory (p48).
