meeting on Sunday 7 May 2017 at 11:00 A.M., at Philatelic Show,
Boxborough, Mass., Boxborough Regency Hotel, 242 Adams Place. Our featured speaker will be David Ball,
whose talk will be “Charles A. Lindbergh: The World’s First Celebrity” NIERINCK CRASH COVER CATALOG The American Air Mail Society has acquired the rights to
"Recovered Mail", by Henri Nierinck. This is the worldwide catalog of air crash covers,
which was published in two volumes in 1992 (Vol. 1) and 1995 (Vol. 2). The plan is to completely update the Nierinck catalog, and incorporate the American Air Mail
Catalogue, Interrupted Flights section. We are asking all members who have air crash covers to send us
scans of their covers. We need color
scans in at least 300 dots per inch (DPI) as JPG or TIFF files. If there are any markings or labels on the
back, include back as a separate scan.
Identify each cover by Nierinck or AAMC
catalogue number, and if scanning both front & back, then show file name
as in following example: 540226 - there are 4 different cachets and a post office
mimeo, so for example, 540226 (1st cachet) 540226 a. (type a.
cachet) 540226 d. (mimeo) if something on the back: 540226 a back etc. If the cachet, label, marking or post office explanation is
unlisted in either Nierinck or the AAMC, then show
as 540226 unl. If more than one cover of the same type, then show as: 540226 a. cover 1 540226 a. cover 2 etc. You can either send the scans by email, or put all the scans
on a CD or DVD and send to: Ken Sanford 613 Championship Drive Oxford, CT - USA 06478-3128 |

We changed our name to the
Metropolitan Air Post Society to better reflect our growing interest in air
post and the related study of stamps and markings on items delivered by air. MAPS is a chapter of the American Air Mail Society, AAMS,
and an affiliate of the APS. |
