Serving American Philately Since 1926 2 WEST 46th STREET NEW YORK 36, N. Y. ROOM 708 TEL.: JU 2-2393 --111- President's Corner . .. R egularly each month, we hope to bring you a message from our President Rafael Oriol and had expected that this January issue of The Airpost Journal would con­ tain his initial greeting to all of the members of our soc­ iety. However, we have just discovered as we go to press that he is on an extended business trip in the interior of the Republic of Cuba and won't return to Havana for several days. Under these circumstances, the wliter is usurping the President's space to express a few thoughts which we know are in the mind of our President as to what he might hope for the future of our society. In all of our years as a member of the American Air Mail Society; we have never observed a President assume the leadership of om organization with such humility and sincerity as did President Oriol at the Convention Banquet in Havana, last Novem­ ber. He has dedicated himself to expend every effort possible to promote the welfare (Jf our society and its members. To help him reach bis goal, will be needed the generous .and whole hearted sup­ port of our society, and we bespeak for him this loyal and active support in the ac­ complishment of his ain1. One of the primary aims of President Oriol is a substantial increase in o:m mem­ bership. There are many active and enthusiastic air mail collectors that either have not been asked to be members or are not aware of the benefits of membership. · Every socie ty member should be a committee of one to help recruit and invite aero­ philatelists to join our organization. You will be doing the collector a favor and at the same time promoting the welfare of your society. I urge each and every one of you j n a gesture of loyalty to our new President to enroll at least one new member into the society within the next three months. President Oriol bas been selected to serve on the Jury for the Fifth International Philatelic Exhibition (FIPEX) to be held in New York, April 28 to May 6th, this year, and he hopes tha<t many members of our society are planning to attend this big how, and further hoping that many of you will have entered exhibits (entries will be accepteo until Feb. 15th) and are participating in every way possible to make this how a success. Other members of the Jury from our Society are Past President L. B. Gatchell, Honorary Members Sir John Wilson and Theodore E. Steinway, and mem­ bers, Sol Glass, Harry M. Buten and C. W . Degler. Don't forget also, that a reunion of AAMS members is planned for Saturday night, April 28th. Action was taken during the Business Session of the Convention in Havana to hold our annual convention sometime the latter part of 1956 with a site to be select­ ed. I am sure that if any of our branch chapters in the valious cities spread across the United States are interested in being host to the Convention that the President would be glad to receive your invitation and plans for such a meeting. Your President feels that The Airpost Journal is an important and vital part of the society and truly regretted that one of his first tasks was to relieve former Editor ''Bart" Gatchell of his duties but the preservation and improvement of Bart's health was paramount in his consideration to act as quickly as he did. The President urges that all members send to the editorial office of The Airpost Journal, P. 0. Box 37, Conneaut, Ohio, items of news interest and originally prepared articles devoted to aerophilately. .... George D. Kingdom -112- Unusual A. M. F.

    VaticanVatican MailMail onon thethe GrafGraf ZeppelinZeppelin’s’s ReturnReturn fromfrom RomeRome TEXT BY DANIEL A. PIAZZA—[email protected] COVERS FROM THE COLLECTION OF REV. EDWARD J. 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.

  • US Airmail Kenneth Pruess
    U. S. Airmail Kenneth Pruess (Slide 1 - Title) (Slide 2 - Kinds of Stamps) This program will take a brief look at the types of air mail items listed in Scott’s U.S. Specialized catalog. Note that all Scott catalog numbers include the letter “C” as part of the number. (Slide 3 - C3) The first airmail stamp was the 24-cent value which paid for service between Washington D.C., Philadelphia, and New York. This service began May 15, 1918. (Slide 4 - C3a) The most famous of all air mail stamps is probably this stamp with inverted center, commonly known as the “inverted Jenny”. (Slide 5 - C2) The fee was reduced to 16 cents for this tri-city service on July 15. (Slide 6 - C1) The fee was again reduced to 6 cents on December 18. So these stamps are numbered in the reverse order to that in which they were issued. (Slide 7 - C4-6) On July 1, 1924 service began between New York and San Francisco. This was divided into 3 zones with 8 cents per zone. Thus the complete trip cost 24 cents. (Slide 8 - Omaha to California) This cover went through 2 zones, requiring 16 cents postage. (Slide 9 - To Germany) This cover did not go by air. But the stamps were valid for all postage and covered the cost of postage plus registration to Germany. (Slide 10 - C10a Lindberg) The 10 cent stamp was issued in both sheet form and as booklet panes of 3. This paid the domestic 10-cent rate now in effect in 1927.

  • Statistical Estimates of Rare Stamp Populations David L
    Statistical Estimates of Rare Stamp Populations David L. Herendeen and Gary C. White ABSTRACT. This paper describes a statistical method for estimating the population of rare stamps from auction catalogs, price lists, expert certificates, and other generally available records. The method presented was developed by biologists to estimate animal populations. Such estimates are done by first capturing, marking, and releasing speci- mens and then recapturing them. From these data, statistics may be developed to estimate the total population. The latest-generation computer software used for such analyses, called MARK, was developed by Gary C. White and others at Colorado State University. This paper explains how MARK may be used by everyday philatelists interested in esti- mating the number of rare or very scarce stamps or covers in their collecting area. The methods described do not require one to be a mathematician to use them successfully. The methodology is then applied to four test cases in order to illustrate the efficacy of the approach. PHILATELIC BACKGROUND One of the most difficult tasks facing the stamp collector, researcher, and exhibitor is determining the rarity of particular stamps, whether alone or on cover. This is important for exhibitors because it allows them to make claims as to the rarity of items in their col- lections in a quantitative manner. This is usually done with statements such as “number reported,” “number recorded,” “number seen by the exhibitor,” or, most important, number according to a recognized expert or group of experts with published results. Generally, such numbers are based on censuses conducted by a specialist, or groups of specialists, often over prolonged periods of time.
