Small but powerful Newfoundland "Airmail" collection. A choice group of 9 covers, mounted on stockpages or previous owner's hand-written pages. Included AAMC (American Air Mail Catalogue) listed flights NFF-36, NFF-41, NFF-42, NFF-42a, NFF-51 (total catalogue for these flights alone in the AAMC is $200.00). Of particular note is a 1930 Stephenville Crossing to St Johns cover which is signed by both the pilot Arthur D. Sillivan and Navigator Douglas C. Fraser. Also included with the lot is the 1931 "Maritime and Newfoundland Airways" ill-fated airmail route attempt, represented with both a cover and two different mint blocks of the unofficial stamps.
