According to Wikipedia the R-34 left Britain on 2 July 1919 and arrived in Mineola, Long Island, United States on 6 July after a flight of 108 hours with virtually no fuel left. As the landing party had no experience of handling large rigid airships, Major EM Pritchard jumped by parachute and so became the first person to reach American soil by air from Europe. This was the first East-West crossing of the Atlantic and was done two weeks after the first non-stop Atlantic crossing by Alcock & Brown. The return journey to Pulham in Norfolk was from 10 to 13 July and took 75 hours. A rarity

According ti Wikipedia, Kars (in Armenian: Ghars) is a province of Turkey, located in the northeastern part of the country. It shares part of its border with the Republic of Armenia. From 1878 until 1917 all of the present-day province of Kars was part of the Russian oblast of Kars. From 1918 to 1920 the province was under the administration of the Democratic Republic of Armenia as the Vanand province (with the city of Kars as its capital). Its territory was ceded to Turkey by the Soviet Union in the Treaty of Kars. The territory is still disputable as the Treaty of Kars was not legally ratified by any country of the South Caucasus, including the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic and its successor, the Republic of Armenia, and thus bearing no legal consequences for those countries

1857 (July 2) cover from "The Nautilus Submarine Company" (backflap embossing) to New York, also same company's letterhead dated September 4th, plus a FL from Liverpool to the company at its London address. In addition, there is another letter from Liverpool to the builder of Nautilus offering congratulations for the successful trials of his submarine in London (1857). "The Nautilus" was designed between 1793 and 1797 by the American inventor Robert Fulton, then living in the French First Republic. He proposed to the Directory that they subsidize its construction as a means to balance British sea power, but he was turned down. His second proposal to them was that he be paid nothing until the Nautilus had sunk British shipping, and then only a small percentage of the prize money. Again, the design was rejected. Fulton directed his next proposal to the Minister of Marine, who finally granted him permission to build. While it is believed that Jules Verne based his Nautilus on Fulton's invention, it is possible
