I’m looking for some research help.
I’m writing an in-depth history of the Post Office at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, NY. This is a follow-up to a book I recently published, “Postmarked West Point: A US Postal History of West Point and its Graduates” (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08SFZCVST?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860).
In 1932, when Jimmy Doolittle made his George Washington Bicentennial Airplane Flight, one of the places he flew over and dropped mail was West Point. I’m hoping to find a cover similar to the one described in the attachment to this message, but postmarked West Point.
I don’t need the cover, just good photos of the front and back. I’ll be happy to give credit to anyone who can provide such photos in the event that I am able to publish my article.
Is it possible to survey your members to find out if anyone has such a cover?
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
