MULLOWNEY, SSJ On May 29, 1933, Nazi Reichsminister of Public Enlighten- ment and Propaganda Joseph Goebbels departed for Rome by train. His mission was to cement ties with Mussolini and make overtures toward a concordat between the Holy See and the Reich. Perhaps to ensure that Goebbels’ visit captured Italy’s attention, the German LZ127—Graf Zep- pelin—followed him to Rome. Departing Friedrichshafen shortly after midnight on May 29, the Graf arrived at Ciampino Airfield at 4:30 in the afternoon. It carried Ital- ian dignitaries and some covers on an aerial tour over Rome (known to collectors as the volo circolare), then be- gan the return trip to Germany (the volo di ritorno) at Shown at 60% about 7:30 p.m.1 ▲Fig. 2: A lovely Vatican solo franking from the sixth South Background of Vatican zeppelin mail American flight of 1932.

    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. To those members with a PC it will be available on-line, alternatively up-to-date hard copy prints will be available on request from the Publications Officer. The index now provides easy access to an enormous corpus of high quality information covering virtually every topic within British West Indies philately. As the number of subjects covered has expanded over the years it has been deemed necessary to sub-divide the topics under each colony heading into four separate categories, each entry being listed in alphabetical order.

  • Balloon Mail, Ballons Montes, and Zeppelin Mail by Cbev Dr Alfred Bonnici KM

    Balloon Mail, Ballons Montes, and Zeppelin Mail by Cbev Dr Alfred Bonnici KM

    Balloon Mail, Ballons Montes, and Zeppelin Mail By Cbev Dr Alfred Bonnici KM. MD. Part 1 Balloon Mail Balloon Mail is defined as the transport of mail, by means of unguided hydrogen, or helium filled balloon. Normally, because of weight reasons, the mail is sent in the form of a post card, on which there is written the name ofthe sender. As this type of balloon was not controlled, many were lost, and did not reach their destination. However when a balloon was found, it was requested that it be returned to the sender by ordinary post, with an indication where it was found, so that the sender could determine how far the balloon flew. Balloon Mail has been used to spread information, and propaganda literature, where a despJtic regime was in place. THE SIEGE OF METZ When Marshal Baseline's army was surrounded at Metz, a surgeon, by name Dr Papillion, had the idea of using balloons to send messages, passed this idea to the chief piarmacist Doctor Julien.F.Jeannel who constructed the first balloons from tracing paper coated in varnish. Between the 5th and 15th September, fourteen small balloons carried 3000 items, but only half of these items arrived at their destination. Because of this success General Coffiniers de Nor deck, the commander of Metz, made available to the public, soldiers, and even prisoners, the use of this new facility. A special post office was opened at the H.Q.of the Fifth Division and the following notice was published. "In order to take advantage of dispatch by balloon, Correspondence should be set out on onion skin paper, Bear the address on one side, and should not exceed Ten en in length and Five cm in width" 2 Metz surrendered on the 2ih October.
