  • 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.

  • The United States Postal Service: an American History Tells the Story of an Ever-Changing and Improving Institution
    At the beginning of our nation, and in the midst of the war for independence, there was a critical need to bind the people together through a reliable and secure system for the exchange of information and the delivery of correspondence. This led to the creation of America’s postal system in 1775, which preceded the birth of our country. The United States Postal Service has played a vital, sustaining, and unifying role in the life of the nation and in the lives of the American public ever since. The history of the Postal Service is a large story set on a broad canvas. It is intertwined with the history of America, and it provides a lens from which to observe the evolution of the United States. The postal system strengthened the foundations of our democracy by fostering the flow of ideas and access to America’s free press. It enabled the vast expansion of American industry and commerce, spanning and influencing the rise of the railroads in the 19th century, air travel in the 20th century, and the advanced digital technology of recent decades. As America’s economy and society have evolved, so too has the Postal Service progressed, both meeting and reflecting the nation’s changing needs. The United States Postal Service: An American History tells the story of an ever-changing and improving institution. It introduces us to the people and events that have shaped our story, and most importantly, how and why the Postal Service continues to play an indis- pensable role in every American community.
