My name is Richard Solomon, I am retired and live in Vail, Arizona (SE of Tucson). I had been a collector of US,
specializing in Washington-Franklins. Then I got into the High Values of KG VI of Bermuda, Leewards and Nyasaland.
I was introduced to The KG VI High Values by Bill Fletcher of Lexington Stamp, who was my mentor in this field.
I sold those collections prior to retiring, and now feel the urge to return to the hobby.
What most interests me is First Flight Covers, primarily those of Pan American Airways. To start my research in
this area, I would ask the Group if there is a listing or Catalog of Pan Am First Flights, or some generalized Catalog
on First Flight Airmail covers. I found the American Airmail Catalog and have some information coming to see if it
will be of help.
In the meantime, I will be reading the mail, as they say.
Thank you for letting me join,
Regards
Richard S.

To start my research in this area, I would ask the Group if there is a listing or Catalog of Pan Am First Flights, or some generalized Catalog on First Flight Airmail covers. This is somewhat peripheral to your request but it might still be of some use to you. The American Air Mail Society's website has posted a large number of old issues of their society journal. I would be a bit surprised if you found exactly the kind of list you're hoping for (maybe try snooping through their article indexes), but it might still bring a bit of fun to look through the magazines. Their scanning project has kind of bogged down and the issues from 1966-2011 have remained missing for quite a while but I check every now and then, hoping that they'll be posted someday.

Welcome!
I stopped my collection at the Washington-Frankiins - too much many altered stamps and need to expertise many.I never had the confidence I could spot trimmed issues nor find some of the watermarks. I decided to go more worldwide - lot for more stamps for the same money.
