While it is rare and 1933 is early, it is by no means the earliest by 
ten years.  There are NY Phil and Woodrow Wilson airchecks from 1923 and 
many more of various types from following years.  Compo issued two 
aircheck records in 1925 and Victor issued eight sides of Lindbergh 
airchecks in 1927.  The list of surviving airchecks of the 1920s is 
continually growing.  Of course some of these are linechecks, but some 
were picked up off the air (such as the Compos),

I would be interested in label scans and soundfiles, especially if there 
is any announcing included.
