  • The Siege of Przemysl 1914–1915
    The Siege of Przemysl´ 1914–1915 by Dr. Jerzy W. Kupiec-Weglinski the outbreak of World War I, Przemyśl was a small garri- son town of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the territory At of Polish Galicia between two provincial capitals, Krakow (Cracow) in the west and Lwow (Lemberg) in the east.1 Just forty miles from the frontier with Imperial Russia, Przemyśl was pro- tected by a ring of fortifications thirty-six miles in circumference, similar to the French Maginot Line. After Austria declared war on Russia on August 6, 1914, the Third Russian Army of Radko- Dimitriev advanced on Przemyśl, and by September 18 the for- tress was completely besieged. Luckily, the blockade was quickly relieved, lasting only thirty-three days. However, the Russians soon returned, and the second siege commenced on November 10. One hundred and thirty-three days later on March 22, 1915, after disease and starvation had taken their toll, Commander General Hermann von Kusmanek, nine generals, ninety-three staff officers, 2,500 officers, and 117,900 men all surrendered to the Russians. In all, some 12,000 defenders and 100,000 Russians perished in Przemyśl, which makes it one of the largest and bloodiest sieges in the world’s military history. The provisional air mail effort set up in the besieged Przemyśl by the Austrian Army represents an important chapter in the his- tory of aerophilately. The desperate necessity of the Przemyśl de- fendants to communicate with the outside world, especially with loved ones, was the primary reason for establishing such a service. This venture, unlike many others that followed, was never phila- telically motivated.

  • 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.
