  • 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.

  • Ala Littoria
    The Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the South East European Air Mail Connection to North America, 1939‐1941 Ratomir Zivkovic [email protected] I. Introduction • On September 3rd, 1939, France and Great Britain entered into the war with Germany. • PANAM changed the terminal point on its Southern Route from Marseille to Lisbon, Portugal, ( Foreign Air Mail Contract No. 18), on September 6th, 1939. • Ala Littoria service from Lisbon to Rome, so‐called “Route of the 45th parallel,” became major air mail route for the mail between continental Europe, Turkey and North America . II. The development of International Air Mail in the Kingdom of S.H.S. (Kraljevina S.H.S.), later Kingdom of Yugoslavia (Kraljevina Yugoslavia) A. Belgrade on the first transcontinental air route from Paris to Istanbul • Our Wings Club (Klub Naša krila) was formed December 1, 1918. • In March of 1923, Yugoslav government awarded a concession and signed an agreement on air carriage with the French company C.F.R.N.A. (Compagnie Franco‐Roumaine de la Navigation Aérienne). • Contracts were renewed with C.I.D.N.A. (Compagnie Internationale de la Navigation Aérienne) in 1926 and with Air France, successor of C.F.R.N.A. and C.I.D.N.A., in 1933. • Until 1927, mail was shipped by air only to the cities on the C.F.R.N.A. /C.I.D.N.A route. • On March 27th, 1927, a new Belgrade airport was opened in Zemun replacing the temporary Pančevo airport C.F.R.N.A./ C.I.D.N.A service: Paris, Strasbourg, Nuremberg, Prague, Warsaw, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest, Istanbul • First flight out of Belgrade (Pančevo Airport) to Paris was on April 16, 1923.

  • Identificazione E Affidabilità Delle Aerolinee Nell'odierno
    Identificazione e affidabilità delle aerolinee nell’odierno scenario del trasporto aereo Stante la difficoltà di “conoscere” l’aerolinea con cui si volerà, può almeno l’utente avere la certezza che le autorità preposte abbiano svolto idonea opera di vaglio e controllo? Uno dei principali problemi con cui oggi si deve confrontare l’utente del trasporto aereo è indubbiamente costituito dall’identità del vettore che si prenderà carico di trasportarlo alla sua destinazione. Una volta, fino a qualche anno fa, questo problema davvero non esisteva. In Italia in particolare, chi decideva di volare sapeva abbastanza di Alitalia, Itavia, Meridiana per poter prendere con cognizione di causa la sua decisione; parlare di scelta del vettore sarebbe errato, in quanto i collegamenti che questi operatori esercitavano raramente erano in sovrapposizione e come tali in concorrenza fra loro. Ma oggi il problema è molto peggiorato e usando questi termini non necessariamente intendiamo far riferimento all’aspetto della safety, che pure ha la sua valenza, quanto all’altro argomento assai più elementare di conoscere, nel senso di aver almeno sentito parlare del vettore che ci porterà a destinazione. L’esempio più eclatante di quanto stiamo dicendo è dato dal recente caso della Flash Air e dell’incidente di Sharm El Sheikh. Non fraintendiamo: abbiamo già scritto e ripetiamo anche in questa occasione, che fintanto che la commissione di inchiesta non conclude la sua indagine è assolutamente sbagliato –come purtroppo è accaduto- sparare a zero a priori contro la compagnia aerea. Il discorso vale per questo come per ogni altro malaugurato incidente che si dovesse verificare.
