More Mariannes, you say? Here’s the start of ‘Marianne et l’Europe,’ issued 2008 to 2013. (These are getting much harder to buy from North American dealers and many European dealers will no longer ship to the USA, unfortunately.) dicksstamps.online/collections/... #Philately #Stamps #StampCollecting

1931. The Postal Service is going to hire the Goodyear Volunteer to head out to the S.S. City of Los Angeles in route from Hawaii, pick up the mail from the ship, fly the mail to San Pedro and lower it down to the Post Office. Why? Because it's 1931!

“What has increased are human reports of exposure..there are two potential reasons..there are more exposures that are happening, and that could be driven by local or larger increases [in exposures]. It’s also possible that people are more sensitized.” www.cidrap.umn.edu/rabies/rabid...

So...obviously the helicopter would eventually surpass in Autogiro in efficiency and utility... And, eventually, USPS would even issue a helicopter stamp. But, the era of innovation, design, and art that were the '30's was truly remarkable....(for the helicopter too 🙂)

VenetiaJane's Garden: “But in October what a feast to the eye our woods and groves present! The whole body of the air seems enriched by their calm, slow radiance. They are giving back the light they have been absorbing from the sun all summer.” – from ‘Falling Leaves’ by John Burroughs (1837-1921).

One day, perhaps, USPS will feel nostalgic enough to create a stamp of the Autogiro. I know, it was rather experimental...but still. Fun fact...On April 8, 1931, at Pitcairn Field, Amelia Earhart piloted a Pitcairn PCA-2 Autogyro to an altitude of 18,415 feet.
