RPSL literature
GreyOldDave
Folks the Royal Philatelic Soc of London has announced it is digitizing a large literature collection. This material dates back to 1913 so will not have much about airmail or postage meters but it might fit in with some of your other interests. There will be a discussion about this at NY2016 on Monday May 30. Note also that the RPSL maintains a literature index on its website that the MSS has been contributing to for about 10 years. A literature search from their website will yield numerous citations, including those from the MSS. The Royal Philatelic Society London
41 Devonshire Place, London W1G 6JY
PRESS
RELEASE
Major Philatelic Library to be Available Online
The major philatelic
library built up by the 26th Earl of Crawford is to be made available online at
www.globalphilateliclibrary.org
from 30 May (subject to some copyright constraints).
The Crawford Philatelic
Library comprises over 1.3 million pages and represents around 95% of the
world’s published philatelic knowledge at the time it was created.
This major digitisation
programme will be launched on Monday, 30 May 2016 during the World Stamp Show
in New York. A presentation will be given in Room 1E07 of the Javits Centre at
2pm by Frank Walton RDP FRPSL, President of The Royal Philatelic Society
London. All are welcome.
When the 26th Earl of
Crawford died in 1913 he left his magnificent philatelic library to the British
nation. It has been carefully kept and conserved ever since by the British
Library in London, where it is available for researchers in the Reading Room.
Thanks to creative
thinking and IT development by staff at the British Library and volunteers from
The Royal Philatelic Society London, a project to digitise every page of every
volume is now well advanced. The work has been aided by funding from the
British Library, the former British Philatelic Trust, the Philatelic Fund and
The Royal Philatelic Society London.
More details of this
project were given by David Beech MBE FRPSL, in a supplement published with the
March edition of The London Philatelist, journal of The Royal Philatelic
Society London. The text can be downloaded from the Global Philatelic Library
website.

Fw: [aerophilately] How best to divest of aviation philatelic items
GreyOldDave
Folks mauth007@... is not a member of this group. I let the message in hoping we can help him. If you wish to communicate with him please do so directly to his email address. Cheers. David Crotty ----- Forwarded Message -----
From: "mauth007@... [aerophilately]"
To: aerophilately@... Sent: Tuesday, February 23, 2016 11:19 AM Subject: [aerophilately] How best to divest of aviation philatelic items I have a binder full of BEP souvenir cards, leather-bound (?) Rocket mail item, and numerous CAM covers, cachets, carrier-damaged pieces, old airmail pilot/plane photos, and others. So far, my first attempts - to auction BEP souvenir cards on ebay - have been unsuccessful. Is this pretty much the expected result? Now, am wondering if it's even worth the effort to list all the other items. Any thoughts on how, or where to attempt to sell off these items? Can post pics if that would help, but am shy about even expending the efforts to research and describe all this stuff. Insights appreciated.

Re: AAMS President

Tough question. Right now we have a president for life mostly because nobody wanted the job. We are in the election cycle right now. David Crotty

1925 National Airmail Flight
smpostmus@...
A friend has asked me to research information about the 1925 National Airmail Flight Washington to New York and then on to San Francisco. I do not think this was the first national Airmail Flight.
He has a cover for the event which is an unofficial FDC for the Woodrow Wilson stamp (Scott 624) and others including the purple victory stamp. Susan

Re: Collections and info

Dear Susan, The correct term for what you call "First Day Flight Covers" is "first flight covers". A first day cover is only a cover cancelled on the first day of issue of a new stamp, and has nothing to do with a flight. I collect air crash covers. Regards, Ken Sanford

Hello All! I am interested in what everyone collects. If you could jot a note about your focus that would be great! I currently am in the process of focusing my collection. So far I have some USA First Day Flight Covers FAMS and PAN AM. FDC with Aerophilately Focus. I just currently found information about National Airmail Week May 15/21 1938. I am looking for certain of those Covers. Here is an interesting site: Aerodacious

Re: AAMS at NY2016
GreyOldDave
Sorry. I didn't end that message. By the end of the war the ATC was flying more aircraft that any organization since then. Unfortunately the generals who ran that thought they should become the world's cargo carrier. That didn't go so well in Washington nor from the commercial carriers. They seemed to forget that this was a government subsidized operation. However the ATC did a great job getting the world armies supplied through the war. Mail was one of those jobs. David Crotty
