  • 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.

  • First US Airmail, May 15, 1918 by J.P.V
    Historic Events: First US Airmail, May 15, 1918 by J.P.V. Heinmuller (From STAMPS Magazine, May 15, 1943) The United States air mail was inaugurated in most modest surroundings on May 15, 1918, during the dark days of World War I. It was fathered by the Post Office De- partment and 1918 24¢, Sc. C3, tied by “Air Mail Service nursed by the Wash. N.Y. Phila. New York May 15 1 AM 1918 U.S. Army Sig- First Trip New York” duplex cancel, on cover nal Corps. Since from “State of New York Executive Chamber that time our air Albany” addressed “To the President, The White House, Washington D.C.” mail has been extended to all parts of the world; it spans oceans, moun- tains, and deserts, and operates with the precision of train service. Now again in the midst of world war we come to the twenty-fifth anniversary of the air mail. Perhaps if it had not been for the present war we might have had a new air mail stamp to mark the anniversary. But as it is, we have to be contented with the ceremonies which will be held in Washington and New York, and reported elsewhere in this issue. On May 15, 1918, a series of first flights took place between New York, Philadelphia, and Washington. A spe- cial cachet was used, Washington using black, blue, and magenta cachets; Philadelphia, blue-back; and New York, magenta and carmine. Ceremonies attended the flights both at Washington and New York, which I will try to tell as I recall them.

American Air Mail Catalog Subtitled: “Reference Listing of the Airposts of the World” An official publication of the American Airmail Society. Five editions have been published since 1935. The Cuban sections in each of the editions are detailed in the entries following. Excellent reference on first flights, routes, postal history of air mail services, and background information for first flight covers dispatched to and from Cuba. Following is an overview of the five editions provided by Perham C. Nahl, the only editor who has worked on all five editions. The first edition "Section One" was issued in 1935. It was a 130-page summary of U.S. Contract Air Mail (CAM) Routes through 1934 (no references to Cuba). The second edition, issued in 1940, was the first to go beyond CAM covers and includes a special section on Cuban flights (this too was called "First Edition"). It was 912 pages including bound supplements in 1941 and 1943. The third edition consisted of three volumes: 1947, 1950, and 1959 with a total of 1575 pages. The 1959 book updated listings in the 1947 and 1950 volumes. The fourth edition consisted of volumes I (1966), II (1969), III (1970), and IV (1971) with a total of 2291 pages. The fifth (current) edition includes volumes I (1974), II (1977), III (1978), IV (1981), V (1985), plus a 1983 Pricing Supplement updating prices in Vols.

  • 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. C. Roessler cachet with manuscript “By First Airplane as F.A.M. #2 by U.S.—Canada the Post Office Department. Strangely enough, F.A.M. #1 was not inau- gurated until eight years later.
