Hi Dave, I have never tried this program, but I found this link: https://www.acutesystems.com/scrtm.htm They do offer a free trial period of 14 days. So, you could try it and only purchase it after yo

Hi David, Thanks for making these files available to us. I am having a problem reading them. No matter if I open them from the website, or download first and open, all I can see are blank pages. Has a

Thanks Bob, That would explain the dates. Do you know what the 11-12 means. It's on both sides of the cover. ---In aerophilately@..., <bob.watson@...> wrote: Curt I believe the dates are 2

Thanks for that info, Philip. The dates on the cover are pretty interesting, based on the Wikipedia article. The post mark on the cover has the same dates (11-12-1932) but on the front it is stamped N

Thanks Phillip, I guess it is not a first flight at all then. I don't quite understand the post marks. On the front of the cover the date is 11-12-1932 and it says New York - Genova. On that back the

Great reply. Thanks David

Thanks David, Interestingly, I had just begun scanning my covers including CAM, Pioneer flights, FDC, and just about anything related to air mail I can afford. Am I correct in assuming that any cover

David, Thank you very much for doing this research. I guess you're right, we'll never know for sure what happened to the cover. It's sure an interesting bit of history though. I think I'll print out t

Thanks for the info, all. It sounds like updating my fifth editions to sixth would be worth doing, However, looking at my welcoming letter from the AAMS, I'll have to wait until July 1st before my mem

Thanks for the replies everyone. As usual, asking one question leads to hours of research and reading. I suppose that is what makes stamp collecting so much fun. David, not meaning to insult anyone, b

Hi, It's great to see some activity here. I have attached a scan of a cover and I am hoping someone can help me identify it. There are no markings on the back, and no date or city on the front. Does a
