September 15, 1932 ... a postmark from Siscoe, in the Provice of Quebec, Canada on a First Fllight Cover to Pascalis, Quebec -- a distance of 40KM. 1932 in Northern Quebec was a challenging period. The Great Depression, few roads, lots of wilderness ... and flying into the bush meant pontons as the boats needed to land on water. Why bother? Gold. Gold was discovered in Val d'Or (The Valley of Gold) in Norther Quebec. Mines and towns went up virtually overnight and getting mail (and running a business) meant Air Mail. And, in Northern Quebec, Air Mail meant bush / float planes and bush / float pilots. The cost of air mail also encouraged the creation of FDCs for the philatelic market to increase revenue. Hence this cover, sent from a gold mine town in Northern Quebec to, very likely, a stamp collector in Ohio. (smile). A mine near Pascalis, 1933 On September 15, 1932, Pilot S. L. Hill flew 6,550 pieces of mail, including this one, from Siscoe, Quebec to Pascales. The airmail rate was six cents per ounze.

A tasty Gustaf V left from Gävle, this day in 1940. Strange rate; I've no idea what for. Must have been personal use. Postverket had switched to the new series, Gustaf V right, including the 50 öre.
That day in 1940 Britain won the Battle of Britain, although they wouldn't realize for weeks; Hitler postponed his invasion. Then he switched from aerial tactics to unrestricted submarine warfare.
With Britain fighting alone against German conquest, the Swedes were feeling small and helpless. They generally agreed they'd made the right decision, but there was no dispelling doubt. Six million Swedes had acute indigestion, slept badly, or should have.

September 18, 1955 ... Three postmarks from Ticonderogoa, New York. This was the day the US issued a stamp commemorating the 200th anniversary of this star-shaped, Vauban-inspired, fort. The name just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? Seriously, five syllabals! As a rallying slogan (Scottish Gaelic for 'sluagh' + 'ghairm' -- Army Shout = War Cry = Slogan) Ticonderoga, as a slogan, has worked in battle and in US politics. It was originally built as Fort Carillon by French-Canadian military engineer Michel Chartier de Lotbinière, Marquis de Lotbinière, at the narrows at the south end of Lake Champlain. This was during the Seven Years' War ... known as the French and Indian War in North Anerica. It also played a role in the American Revolution. It was strategically placed between the St. Lawrence / Richelieu Rivers (French Canada) and the Hudson River Valley (British). In times of war, it was on the primary North-South invasion route. In times of peace, it was a major trade route. It's all about the rivers. Today, it's a national historic landmark in the US ... the fort is a major tourist attraction and museum. I've visited it many times, well worth a trip (if you like old forts - smile). Stamp:US - Bicentenary of Fort Ticonderoga, New York Map of the Fort, Ethan Allen and Artillery 3c Light Brown Issued on September 18, 1955 Sc. 1071
