Background
In 1953 Maner Lualdi and Max Peroli flew an Ambrosini Girfalco from Norway to a point in the 82nd parallel and back. Their turning point was the presumed region in which Amundsen died. This cover was flown by Lualdi to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Amundsen's death. The crew dropped flowers on to the ice and medals that had been blessed by the Pope
