Jamaica (11 Dec 1930 but mail postmarked 10 Dec) to Cuba (11 Dec 1930) by Pan American

The flight did not take place on the scheduled 10 Dec as bad weather delayed the incoming flight from Cristobal.
As the outbound flight would have arrived after dark at Cienfuegas, an overnight stop was made in Kingston.
The aeroplane was a Consolidated Commodore N669M, piloted by Edward R Schulz on the inbound leg
and WD Culbertson on the outbound. 3186 letters were carried to US destinations.
