Flap is unsealed. This cover represents the friendship and cooperation between Great Britain and the Republic of Zaire. The assistance given by Zaire in the planning stages which started in 1971 continued into the actual Expedition when they provided 40 members of their Armed Forces and scientific institutions to accompany sections on the river and with scientific and support groups. Five Americans were amonst the 150 members of the Expedition. In 1874 Stanley's party was named The Anglo-American Trans-African Expedition. This cover was carried to Kindu on the Flagship "La Vision". The other Giant Inflatables were called after their sponsors 'David Gestetner' and 'Barclays Bank'. The top of the cover bears a Violet handstamped Carried On Flagship La Vision. The cover was franked at Kindu when the boats arrived. The cachet includes a Stars & Stripes indicating the close association of the Expedition with the USA. A Giant Inflatable also pictured is based on the type of boat used on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. A sound cover with sound stamp. Scans at 1.5X show the complete lot.
