MULLOWNEY, SSJ On May 29, 1933, Nazi Reichsminister of Public Enlighten- ment and Propaganda Joseph Goebbels departed for Rome by train. His mission was to cement ties with Mussolini and make overtures toward a concordat between the Holy See and the Reich. Perhaps to ensure that Goebbels’ visit captured Italy’s attention, the German LZ127—Graf Zep- pelin—followed him to Rome. Departing Friedrichshafen shortly after midnight on May 29, the Graf arrived at Ciampino Airfield at 4:30 in the afternoon. It carried Ital- ian dignitaries and some covers on an aerial tour over Rome (known to collectors as the volo circolare), then be- gan the return trip to Germany (the volo di ritorno) at Shown at 60% about 7:30 p.m.1 ▲Fig. 2: A lovely Vatican solo franking from the sixth South Background of Vatican zeppelin mail American flight of 1932.

    Postal Regulatory Commission Submitted 5/29/2008 11:46:31 Filing ID: 60012 Accepted 5/21/2008 May 21, 2008 Good afternoon. I appreciate the invitation to be with you all, here in Flagstaff today, and to offer what I hope may be food for thought – and more – regarding the present re-consideration of the notions of Universal Service, the Universal Service Obligation , and the Postal Monopoly, and to join in on the discussion of these important topics. I am here as the owner and publisher of The Flute Network. We are a small entirely volunteer entity now closing in on the end of our 24 th year of service as a “bulletin board service” for flutists, flute teachers, and the people who love these kinds of folks. In addition to a website presence (which has become absolutely requisite in recent years for businesses of all kinds), we continue to organize and publish an adletter of typically 8 – 12 pages, which goes out free of charge 9 times a year, now to some 6,100 different subscribers nationwide. It is on behalf of our subscribers, and all those whom we serve by including their notices, that we’ve been tracking the flow of Flute Network mailings over the years. As with most such things, the timely receipt of our mailings is a large part of what keeps them valuable – for example, it does no good to learn of a concert or other event that one might have wanted to attend, two weeks after it happened. What is frustrating is when this kind of thing happens and those notices had actually been mailed three weeks before those events, and by the Post Office’s own standards should have been received by all in plenty of time.

  • Balloon Mail, Ballons Montes, and Zeppelin Mail by Cbev Dr Alfred Bonnici KM
    Balloon Mail, Ballons Montes, and Zeppelin Mail By Cbev Dr Alfred Bonnici KM. MD. Part 1 Balloon Mail Balloon Mail is defined as the transport of mail, by means of unguided hydrogen, or helium filled balloon. Normally, because of weight reasons, the mail is sent in the form of a post card, on which there is written the name ofthe sender. As this type of balloon was not controlled, many were lost, and did not reach their destination. However when a balloon was found, it was requested that it be returned to the sender by ordinary post, with an indication where it was found, so that the sender could determine how far the balloon flew. Balloon Mail has been used to spread information, and propaganda literature, where a despJtic regime was in place. THE SIEGE OF METZ When Marshal Baseline's army was surrounded at Metz, a surgeon, by name Dr Papillion, had the idea of using balloons to send messages, passed this idea to the chief piarmacist Doctor Julien.F.Jeannel who constructed the first balloons from tracing paper coated in varnish. Between the 5th and 15th September, fourteen small balloons carried 3000 items, but only half of these items arrived at their destination. Because of this success General Coffiniers de Nor deck, the commander of Metz, made available to the public, soldiers, and even prisoners, the use of this new facility. A special post office was opened at the H.Q.of the Fifth Division and the following notice was published. "In order to take advantage of dispatch by balloon, Correspondence should be set out on onion skin paper, Bear the address on one side, and should not exceed Ten en in length and Five cm in width" 2 Metz surrendered on the 2ih October.

  • Helvetia Philatelic Society Newsletter
    UDC 656.835 (494) ISSN 0951-0001 HELVETIA PHILATELIC SOCIETY NEWSLETTER Founded in 1946 by Edward H Spiro Honorary President Tony Hoyle Honorary Secretary Peter Vonwiller 13 Pulpit Close CHESHAM Buckinghamshire HP5 2RZ Tel. +44 (0)1494 782472 Honorary Editor Peter Hobbs Six Tyning End Widcombe BA2 6AN Tel. +44 (0)1225 310971 No. 1 January 2007 On reading Fred Pickard's erudite comments in the December newsletter, answering a query concerning the 1936 Landscape issue, I was reminded of the situation regarding the 1949 issue. Printing started in May of that year, and in the case of the 20c value, printing was halted after 18,000 sheets of 50 stamps had been printed; it was decided that the appearance of the stamp was not satisfactory. A new die was prepared and printing recommenced, some 1,558,240,000 being eventually produced; the original 18,000 sheets were not destroyed however, they were issued to Post Offices along with those of the later printing (die 2). The differences between the two dies, was not discovered until late in 1951. Obviously large quantities of the Die 2 stamp were printed before the first day of issue, consequently there was plenty of scope for printing errors to have occurred. I have a block of four stamps, with a first day cancel, which shows blotches of colour, which are not uncommon in stamps with much later cancellations. Whilst looking at the first day of issue blocks, I discovered error in the 25c value; this was not due to faulty printing, but was caused by a scratch in the printing plate, which creates a straight line of colour, not unlike a tall post, rising from the road across the Melide dam, directly above the letter L in Helvetia.(see illustration) Zumstein lists this error under Z302 pfl ; I had previously seen exactly the same fault in a single stamp, unfortunately undated, and I also have a stamp with a similar fault, but in this case directly above the E in Helvetia.

    Index to The Airpost Journal Vol 61-79 1990-2008 Index to THE AIRPOST JOURNAL VOLUMES 61 - 79 Page Section 1 Introduction 2 Airpost Journal Index 59 Author Index INTRODUCTION I have been a member of the American Air Mail Society for many years and during that time I have not done anything useful, except the payment of annual dues. One of the rules I have always adopted is if you are a member of a Society you should do something to further the cause of that body. My opportunity came when I read the President's Message in the December 2008 Air Mail Journal that he wanted somebody to up date the Index of the Air Post Journal so I volunteered little knowing of the task that I was undertaking. I am not a professional indexer but have had a little experience in indexing magazines in the UK. The task was to index the magazines from 1990 to 2008 (228 magazines) roughly in line with the index published in 1992. As previously stated the index continues from the previous edition except that I have included items from Letters to the Editor. I feel that there is much information contained in these letters which is of value to aerophilatelists. To quote the previous index "The APJ Index is meant to be a document helpful, but not comprehensive" and I have tried to continue in this vein. That said I hope that the Index will prove to be of some use. Needless to say any errors, omissions etc are entirely down to me.
