Seller's Description

BAY CITY to CHICAGO Route
Appropriate Receiving Cancels
The total retail price that came with these covers was $30.00.
Background: The Air Mail Act of 1925 (Kelly Act) authorized the postmaster general to contract for domestic airmail service with commercial air carriers. It also set airmail rates and the level of cash subsidies to be paid to companies that carried the mail. By transferring airmail operations to private companies, the government effectively would help create the commercial aviation industry. Various routes were designated and contracts for carrying the mail over these routes were then awarded to many different private air service companies. The Contract Air Mail routes became known as CAM's. CAM-27: CAM-27 was awarded to Thompson Aeronautical Corporation. TAC was founded in early 1928 and became the successful bidder for the mail route from Bay City MI to Chicago IL. Postal mail covers carried on the inaugural flight between each point of landing and take-off are collectible and are known as CAM-27 covers. TAC began service on July 17, 1928 with a fleet of six Stinson Detroiters. At the beginning of 1931 the airline-operating side of TAC became a subsidiary of its parent company, Transamerican Airlines Corporation. In 1933 American Airways purchased Thompson.
This lot is in Fine/Very Fine Condition. They will arrive to you in glassines. Please view the scans to form your own opinion on condition. Additional information upon request. Just message me! Thanks for looking, and thanks in advance for your bids!
