The present Society was originally formed under the name AERO-PHILA­ TELIC SOCIETY OF AMERICA in 1923. In 1927 the name was modiefied to its present form in order to achieve direct­ ness and simplicity and to avoid con­ fusion in its abbreviated form, A. P. S.

The Constitution and By-Laws of the A. A. M. S. have been purposely drawn to give the officers wide latitude in the administration of Society affairs. In an organization such as ours, this is almost essential. It is a physical lmpossiblllty, even though funds were available, to take each matter of policy or each de­ cision to the full membership. The officers serve without compensation and are of­ ten hard pressed to find the necessary time to devote to the Society's affairs. Their actions are sincere and devoted and any member either at the Convention • PAUL F. ROBERTSON, Decatur, Ill., dirertor and charter member #25 of the AAMS who has recently been selected by the Nominating Commit­ tee as President for the 1938-39 term. or at any other time is privileged to question or disapprove them. While on the subject it may be appropriate to point out that the position of Secretary now requires the dedication of a major amount of time, which time must necesarily be deducted from other activ­ ities and in some cases the regular bus­ iness of the incumbent. It is possible that this Convention will be asked to face the situation squarely and deter­ mine whether the time has not arrived to provide some monetary compensation for the Secretary. This would be a step in the right direction even though the present resources of the Society might make it necessary to restrict this stipend to a small and inadequate amount. • • • One of the ever pleasing features of each Convention has been the cordial participation of the Post Office Depart­ • L.

  • 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.

    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.

    Bibliography of Cuban Aerophilately by Ernesto Cuesta Also see the subordinate "Bibliography of the Cuban Postal Rocket Experiment" accessible from the main page of the full bibliography after the main bibliography entries. <AAMC> American Air Mail Catalog. 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.
