“Air Crash Mail of Imperial Airways” with Kendall C. Sanford

Formed in 1924, Imperial Airways provided wings to the British Empire and represented the British entry in the race to dominate the skies.  Countries realized the power of air travel to make transportation of goods and communication between the vast points of the globe faster than shipping over land or on water.  The British Government recognized the need to create formable competition with the French and German airlines and followed the recommendation of the Hambling committee, providing heavy subsidies to get the venture off the ground, so to speak.  This fledgling airline ran into a lot of turbulence, and the program will guide you through the crash covers of Imperial Airways and touch on collecting crash covers.

You are welcome to join us live.  The program is free. (see the British Empire Study Group Website (BEStudygroup) to register).  If can also order a digital download or DVD.
