There are only three of these aircraft in existence today. This is the beginning story of one them.

I do encourage anyone with a love of history and research to join me in a slow thread (to solve a mystery).

One of my favorite kind of notes from the past. And from the look of the post it note paper,...not too far in the past.

Still, I do love a mystery.

Henry Ellis (H.E) Harris. (1902 -1977).

The man that would sue an International Zone and the United States Post Office over a silver ink error.

In 1811, the Postmaster General had been appointed by Thomas Jefferson.

#philately friends: What do you make of this discovery? Appears to be a very early list of post offices printed in 1811. No front cover, very delicate, trying not to touch it (I’ve turned pages only using the power of my mind.)

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.
