1952 Henry OHye Trophy Race Label : ungummed Author : LA Times Henry Ohye; Pioneer Flier, Led Japanese-Americans Henry Ohye, a Japanese-American businessmen and flying enthusiast who spent many of the middle years of his life helping to restore luster to the tarnished image his race suffered in the aftermath of World War II, is dead at age 77. Ohye, founder of the Japanese American Aeronautics Assn., in 1964 became the first Nisei to cross the Pacific in a single-engine airplane. He died May 12 at a hospital in Northridge. In 1950, Ohye, a retired automobile dealer, established what since has evolved into a pilots' proficiency test for all fliers, regardless of racial background. Originally, the Henry Ohye Trophy Race was limited to four Japanese-American fliers racing from Los Angeles to Chicago, for at that time pilots of Japanese ancestry had to compete among themselves. They were not allowed to be military or commercial pilots. Ohye began the competition out of his own aviation frustrations. He made his first solo flight in 1931 after pinching the few pennies he earned as a boy in Watsonville, Calif., and spending them on flying lessons. Two years later he earned his commercial license. But "discrimination was severe even then," he told The Times in a 1979 interview. Although he was eligible to be a commercial pilot, none of the airlines would hire him. "I turned down offers to fly in Japan," Ohye said. "I had no interest in military flying." To keep his hand in aviation he opened a flying school at Mines Field--later to become Los Angeles International Airport--and with other Japanese-American pilots participated in local air shows to offset the growing anti-Japanese sentiment of the late 1930s. Feelings were running so strong at the time, he recalled, that he blamed sabotage when a parachute was packed incorrectly and nearly cost him his life in a demonstration jump. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Ohye tried to join the Army Air Corps, but he was rejected because of his race. Instead he and his family were sent to a relocation camp in Arizona, where he organized model airplane-building classes for boys. In July, 1964, after taking off from Los Angeles and stopping in Oakland, Honolulu, Midway, Wake, Guam and Okinawa, Ohye landed his single-engine Piper Comanche in Tokyo to become the first Japanese-American to accomplish that feat. (Masaichi Goto of Los Angeles died trying it in 1929.) Thereafter Ohye became a symbol of resurrection to the once-beleaguered Japanese community here, saying modestly, "I have been fortunate in being able to do what I wanted to do for no monetary profit."

Rod: Thanks especially for the post on the Japanese American flight. I had never heard of the East Los Angeles Airport, and a quick bit of Googling doesn't necessarily reveal the answer as to which airfield it might have been. I'll either have to spend some more time on it, or, perhaps more likely, ask someone who's a few years older and see what they recall.
As always, thumbs up on all your posts!
-- Dave

Thanks, Ryan!
I skimmed that page, but missed the reference, since they were all in the east LA area!
Looking at that page, it's interesting that so many little towns around here had their own airfields (landing strips). That said, there are still active airfields close by: one about 10 miles to the east, and another about 10 miles to the west. (And I think another nearby that one.)
Because land prices are high here, so often what were formerly large plots of land are pressured into "highest and best" use for residential and/or retail development. (I recently learned that a large new-ish residential and retail destination was built on part of the old Ontario Speedway, which I had heard of while growing up on the other side of the country!)
Thanks again, Ryan! Much appreciated!

Thanks for your kind words Dave, the great thing when one posts, is that someone , somewhere can use it. That's why I post a lot of text, because it can arrive on a search engine somewhere. So that fellow whom stuck the label in his album so long ago, his time was not wasted

This is obviously a post-WWI charity label but I have been unable to determine the issuing organization.

All I could ever find, with my example, was your own post in 2011
"I've found little useful information on them apart from an eBay listing by Rigastamps indicating that these fundraising vignettes were issued by the American Czechoslovak World War Disabled Veterans and are listed in Mosbaugh's U.S. All Funds Seals Catalog in the section on Ethnic Seals. That listing identified 1934 as the year of issue and I assume it derives from the Mosbaugh catalog. An image on another seller's listing showed the stamps were also printed in red, green and blue.
Any additional background on any of the above items would be appreciated."
----------------------------------------------------------------
I would add, The US VA (Veterans affairs) states,
VA may provide medical care to certain veterans of nations allied or associated with the United States during World War I or World War II if authorized and reimbursed by the foreign government. VA also may provide hospitalization, outpatient care and domiciliary care to former members of the armed forces of Czechoslovakia or Poland who fought in World War I or World War II in armed conflict against an enemy of the United States if they have been U.S. citizens for at least 10 years.
Ergo, I have assumed, it is/was a low level support group, from the Czechs living in the US at the time.
PS: I find the year of production puzzling 1934?

... I find the year of production puzzling 1934? 1934 was about half-way in to the Great Depression -- most likely a time of great need for many similarly impaired.

Here is 2 of a set that was given to me over the summer. The bottom one has a crease but I still think that they are quite charming and smile every time I flip past them in my binder!
On another note I REALLY want that set of "cindies" from the American Bank Note Company that are similar if you know the ones I'm talking about?

Here are a couple of US cinderellas I picked up yesterday. I'm wondering if the airmail on is actually an etiquette. It did come accompanied by a red white and blue etiquette with a big airplane on it. The other I figure is WWI era. Attachment Deleted

Here's another US cindy I posted on that other site quite some time ago, but never heard anything about it. Let's try here. It's on a piece of paper but didn't want to remove it for fear of wrecking the thing. It's purpose is pretty clear, but not sure of the era. 1970s or 80s maybe. edit- There you go, our old friend google. The National Tax Limitation Committee, formed in 1975. Anti tax group that apparently receives a lot of funding from the tobacco industry. Friends of the Tea Party, I believe. limittaxes.org/

American Education WeekThese two poster stamps arrived yesterday in a lot of mixed cinderellas that I won on ebay. Both are sound and with pristine gum. The first is clearly from the 1938 observance; I'm guessing that the second is from 1939 (based upon the days of the week that show on the stamp).

There are some wonderful US Cinderellas here. Onlookers, like myself, should feel proud to be here. Many items in this thread I have never seen before which just goes to prove how many Cinderellas there really are in this world. Postage stamps have a long way to go to catch up !!

A very nice series of Labels from 1940. Issued together with a Stamp Album by the Tide Water Associated Oil Company. Prduced in sheets of 12, 4 each of 3 different designs depicting famous 'Air Events'. My small collection is incomplete, sheets are very hard to come by. Set of 48 labels, 16 sheets. I understand most sheets were split up. I'll scan more another time. Londonbus1

In November 1994, the U.S. Postal Service unveiled its proposal for the World War II series sheet, 1945: Victory at Last (September 2, 1945; Scott 2981). One of the ten stamps on the sheet pictured a mushroom cloud and the caption “Atomic Bombs Hasten War’s End.” Faced with strenuous Japanese protests and pressure from the Clinton Administration, the USPS replaced the stamp with one showing Truman announcing Japan’s surrender (Scott 2981h). The decision to replace the stamp angered some, including Mark Warda and Ray Cowdery; each decided to print their own poster stamp version of the mushroom cloud design. Warda, president of Sphinx International Inc. in Clearwater, Florida, printed a stamp carrying the wording “ Japan Surrenders 1945/U.S. Surrenders 1994” in sheets of 4 and 8 stamps. Cowdery, owner of USM Inc. in Lakeville, Minnesota financed the printing of a mushroom cloud stamp with the caption “ A Proud Reminder/Atomic bomb ends war, saves many lives 1945.” These stamps were available in sheets of 36 stamps. There are reportedly at least two other poster stamp designs showing the mushroom cloud. One shows the Enola Gay airplane as it flies away; the other has added the caption “ Remember Pearl Harbor.”
