2019 scheduled for 20 Oct., Clark Lane Middle School, 105 Clark Lane, Waterford, Connecticut. The MAPS Meeting will start at 1:00 p.m. The Metropolitan Air Post Society
of New York, MAPS, is a non-profit association of aerophilatelists.
We started as the Metropolitan Airmail Cover Club, MACC, in 1941. We still collect
covers as souvenirs of memorable air mail and aviation events. However, our
emphasis has changed over the years and we are increasingly interested in air
post history, and the development of aviation, airlines and air mail
services.

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. |

The original membership of MACC
was primarily in the Metropolitan New York area but our geographic scope has
expanded. It is now common to have members from five or six Northeastern
states in attendance at meetings. In addition, we have members from many
other parts of the United States of America and from several countries of the
world including, Australia, Canada, England, the Netherlands, New Zealand and
Switzerland. We also hold society meetings
at national and international aerophilatelic
events. |

The most popular aspect of our
meetings is a show & tell where members bring
material or photocopies and discuss an aspect of the items shown. We continue
this with online Show & Tell . |
