My primary collecting interest is worldwide airmails up to about 1950, so I'm always looking for the really older books. I find that many times there is a lot more detailed information in the older books. Seems like the details get diluted as newer publications are released. Maybe they are just worried about the books growing too large if they keep including all of the details.

I am always searching for reference material that will bring my collection to life. Books with stories about the first harrowing airmail flights and detailed descriptions about what the individual stamps & sets commemorate. The short scripts provided in Scott catalos just are not enough.

I am trying to assemble a listing of reference material that would compliment an early worldwide airmail collection, and I would welcome any suggestions. At the top of the list would be the Sanabria 1966 and 1972 editions. But here is a choice item for me that I just obtained. A first edition 1931 Stanley Gibbons World Airmail Catalog. Let me know what else I should be looking for & I'll share any new finds with you as well.

Boyle's book on WWII airmail is indispensable for understanding the routes that were just developing before they were terminated, and the alternate routes that came about...or not.

I recommend "Air Crash Mail of Imperial Airways and Predecessor Airlines" by Kendall C. Sanford, a very nicely produced book which has details of each crash and the recovered mail, and lots of great photographs of the planes and individuals that were involved.
