I first met Freddie over forty years ago when I stared working for Pan American World Airways in New York. It was twenty-two year later, still with Pan Am, when I took a position as ramp operations trainer; and Freddie was assigned to teach me the tools of the trade. In 1989 while in Berlin for training, Freddie and I witnessed the abandoning of the guard towers along the Berlin Wall by the East Germans. We didn’t realize it then, but we were witnessing the beginning of the end of the Cold War. -

60012 Accepted 5/21/2008
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. -

With the advent of the Word Processor the opportunity has been taken to convert these original hard copy indexes into electronic format, to amalgamate them into one document, and to bring the index up to date. From this point forward future indexing will be relatively straightforward and the index will be updated within a short period after each bulletin is published.

The index now provides easy access to an enormous corpus of high quality information covering virtually every topic within British West Indies philately.

The Struggle for Control of American Military Aviation
THE STRUGGLE FOR CONTROL OF AMERICAN MILITARY AVIATION by PAUL HARRIS LARSON B.A., Auburn University Montgomery, 2000 M.A., Texas State University, 2002 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2016 Abstract The United States Army activated the Aeronautical Division, United States Signal Corps, on August 1, 1907. The men of the Aeronautical Division faced hardships and challenges from the very beginning as they tried to build the nation’s first air force prior to World War I. The U.S. Army, the War Department, Congress, and even the American people, really did not know what aircraft could do beyond simple flight. American airmen tried to demonstrate what air power was capable of, but the response to their achievements never met their expectations. Using an abundance of primary and secondary sources on American air power, this dissertation demonstrates that airmen’s struggle for a separate service was not something that developed slowly over the course of decades. Instead, this dissertation shows that airmen wanted independence from the U.S. Army from the start. From their point of view, the U.S. Army, the War Department, and Congress never really appreciated or understood air power. As a result, airmen became more and more alienated with each passing year until they achieve want they wanted—independence.

Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2019 i ABSTRACT Although the Air Mail Affair dominates the country’s headlines as it unfolds throughout the winter and spring of 1934, it is mostly a forgotten chapter in American history. Without warning, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his Postmaster General James Farley annul the airmail contracts with more than 30 different commercial airlines. On February 9, 1934, Roosevelt enters Executive Order 6591 directing the U.S. Army Air Corps to fly the mail instead of the commercial airlines which are denied a grievance procedure or an opportunity to be heard. The carriers file suit but the United States Court of Claims does not decide the case until several years later on December 7, 1942. -

III Dissertation Advisor: Roger Owen Author: Asher Aviad Orkaby The International History of the Yemen Civil War, 1962-68 Abstract The deposition of Imam Muhammad al-Badr in September 1962 was the culmination of a Yemeni nationalist movement that began in the 1940s with numerous failed attempts to overthrow the traditional religious legal order. Prior to 1962, both the USSR and Egypt had been cultivating alliances with al-Badr in an effort to secure their strategic interests in South Arabia. In the days following the 1962 coup d'état, Abdullah Sallal and his cohort of Yemeni officers established a republic and concealed the fate of al- Badr who had survived an assault on his Sana’a palace and whose supporters had already begun organizing a tribal coalition against the republic. -
Airmail Comes of Age
Airmail Comes of Age By: Lyndon Baltazar NOTE: Lyndon Baltazar is a junior at the University of Maryland, College Park, majoring in aerospace engineering. He is currently working as an intern in the FAA History Office. The first airmail flight operated by the U.S. Post Office Department with a civilian flight crew took off from College Park, MD, on August 12, 1918, with pilots Max Miller, Edward Gardner, Robert Shank, and Maurice Newton taking turns at the controls of a new, purpose‐built Curtiss R‐4 airplane. The four pilots shared the 218 mile flight from College Park to New York via Philadelphia. The first regularly scheduled United States Mail service flight had actually taken place on May 15, 1918, but the Army Air Corps still flew the mail. On that day, Army pilot Lieutenant George Boyle climbed in aircraft #38262, a U.S Army surplus Curtiss JN‐4HM “Jenny” and prepared for the northbound flight from the Washington Polo Grounds in Washington, DC, to Belmont First Post Office pilots (left to right): Eddie Gardner, Superintendent of the airmail service Benjamin Lispner, Maurice Newton, Max Miller, and Robert Shank. Park in New York. President Woodrow Wilson, Postmaster General Albert Burleson, and then Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt came to send off the pioneer pilot on his historical flight. Unfortunately, due to a navigational error, Boyle landed 18 minutes into his flight to regain his bearings and damaged his plane upon touching down. As a result, the 140 pounds of mail he carried needed to be transported back to Washington, eventually being flown and delivered the next day. -
