Weisberg was born November 14, 1913, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He lived there through his high school years, graduating from West Philadelphia High School and attending Drexel Institute. Joseph then moved to Texas where he attended Texas Christian University (Special Courses Division.) Prior to WWII, he was employed by the Fawcett Publishing Company where he created stories about agencies and people involved in the magazine distribution industry. It was during this period that his interest in writing began to focus on topics associated with his personal interest in flying. In 1941 he enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps and was assigned to a public relations position at Kelly Field, San Antonio, Texas. His responsibility in this position was to prepare stories and related photographs of military and base activities. Associated with the Gulf Coast Training Command, Weisberg’s group was reassigned to Tarrant Air Base (later renamed Carswell Air Force Base,) Fort Worth, Texas, in 1942. Weisberg’s group was again transferred in 1943 to the newly established B-24 Bomber Training Base at Liberal, Kansas. There he was given the opportunity to qualify for flight training, and was assigned as a crew member on a B-24. He received an honorable discharge in 1945 and returned to the Fort Worth area where he became an associate with the newly created Johnson Advertising Agency. His responsibilities there included photography, publicity, public relations, and advertising. His work was published in Open Road Magazine, Grit, Texas Aviation, Flite Line Times, Fort Worth Observer newspaper, Metroplex Photographer, and Antique Airplane Digest. None of these published materials are in the collection; rather, they are referenced in one of Weisberg’s autobiographical summaries. A few years later Joseph established his own marketing company. The company prospered; and in 1973, he sold his shares in the company to return to free-lance writing and photo-journalism. Joseph A. Weisberg died in March 1983. He was survived by his wife, Gertrude; a son, Michael, a college educator in Claremont, California; and a daughter, Ethel, a social agency health administrator in Phoenix, Arizona. 1 Sources Joseph A.

Is it reckless? Maybe. But what do dreams know of boundaries? Never interrupt someone doing something you said couldn’t be done. Some of us have great runways already built for us. If you have one, take off! But if you don’t have one, realize it is your responsibility to grab a shovel and build one for yourself and for those who will follow after you.

  • To the AIRPOST JOURNAL VOLUMES 61
    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.

  • A Bove the Pacific
    Lieutenant Colonel William J. Horvat A bove the Pacific Printed and Published in the United States by Aero Publishers, Inc., 1966 ABOVE THE PACIFIC By LT. COL. WILLIAM J. HORVAT This is the first complete story of the flights “Above the Pacific” from the first Hawaiian balloon ascent in 1880 and the first Curtiss flights in1910 up to the prevent time (1966). Modern day coverage includes a discussion of the airlines that serve the area, as well as information on the satellite tracking facilities located on the island. This fascinating page of history includes the story of Hawaii’s vital role in the development of World Aviation History. Hawaii can truthfully be called the “Springboard to Aerospace” in the Pacific. As a halfway spot across the ocean, it has been used by sea-faring navigators for thousands of years; and the island’s strategic position in the midst of 5,000 miles of ocean has focused attention on this Garden Spot as an aid to aviation development. This authentic book is truthfully a documentary of flights “Above the Pacific.” Included are stories of the military interest, in addition to the civilian interest, in Hawaiian aviation. The succession of events is given in chronological order, with military as well as commercial activities being covered. An illustrated story of Pearl Harbor and World War II is also included. Editor’s Note: Above the Pacific was published by Aero Publishers, Inc. in 1966. The book is no longer in print. The publisher is no longer in business. The author Lt. Col. William J.
