I'm surprised that none of the knowledgeable members of this group either don't know the answers to these questions or can't be bothered to respond.

Larry, the folks on this board all try to be the first person to answer a question, so in this case I'd say nobody here knows anything about airmail covers. I saw your original question and was hoping to learn the answers myself.
Hi Larry a quick search of the internet gives me the following http://www.aerodacious.com/ccCAM009.HTM
It appears that CAM stands for Contract Air Mail and the number following it is the route.
Perhaps RN and RW refer to Route North or Route West, maybe not.
From the items on Ebay the R9W24 appears to be or is described as Northwest airlines, again as contract air mail.
Hope this helps.
Larry,
I think readers' problem in answering these questions is the lack of specific reference.
I'll give it a go.
"1. What does the number of each flight indicate. Example R9W24 or. RN25 ?"
"2. When the same city appears on a schedule more than once on the same day how would I know which cover goes with the first, second, third or fourth entry for that city?"
"3. I have some covers that indicate CAM-9 and others that use AM-9. Are these interchangeable as long as the number are the same?"
Thanks for the responses. It seems that I better get a AAMS catalog.
By the way Roy, Buckacover has become my first source for airmail covers.
Thank you

As a recent collector of first flight cover, I have some questions.
1. What does the number of each flight indicate. Example R9W24 or. RN25 ?
2. When the same city appears on a schedule more than once on the same day how would I know which cover goes with the first, second, third or fourth entry for that city?
3. I have some covers that indicate CAM-9 and others that use AM-9. Are these interchangeable as long as the number are the same?
Thank you for your help.
