  • The Romance of Aerophilately, Pt. 9 by an Unknown Author (From STAMPS Magazine, July, 1942, with Images Added)
    Yesterday in STAMPS: The Romance of Aerophilately, Pt. 9 By an Unknown Author (From STAMPS Magazine, July, 1942, with images added) F.A.M. Routes Several contract routes operated before the war be- tween the United States and foreign countries. These are the F.A.M., or Foreign Air Mail routes, which were made possible by an act of Congress passed in 1928. The most rapid development of F.A.M. routes took place during the years of 1929 and 1930, during which time air mail lines were extended southward through the West Indies, and Central and South America, culminating in the inauguration of a fast air mail route down the west coast of South America to Santiago, Chile, thence over the lofty Andes to Montevideo, Uruguay. On the east coast, air mail lines operated by American air mail contractors, were extended to Paramaribo in Dutch Guiana. T h e f i r s t F.A.M. route was inaugurated six years before Con- tract Air Mail (or C.A.M.) routes were in operation. The first F.A.M. route was opened on October 15, 1920, between Seattle, Wash- ington and Vic- toria, B.C., and F.A.M. 2 First Flight cover, Seattle to Vancou- was designated ver, October 15, 1920, with A.
