Seller's Description
Additional Notes: 7/17/28 LOT/3 CAM27 E7, W7, E7 COMBO, BAY CITY -CHICAGO Route, BATTLE CREEK CANCELS! The E7 Has the postmaster's signature. Pilot L. F. Bishop.
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.
The retail price that came with these covers was $52.00.
Fine Condition. Please view the photos for condition. I will note any major faults of course. Thanks for looking, and good luck with your bids!
