Australia, Airmail, 1920 (Feb. 26), Ross-Smith First Aerial Post vignette on cover, sent Singapore to Australia, Eustis #174; the cover (accompanied by four reprints of the vignette), sent from The Asiatic Petroleum Co. in Singapore to Cottesloe, Western Australia, is franked by a superb copy of the vignette, which is clearly tied by one of two strikes of the "First Aerial Mail/Received/26 FEB. 1920/Great Britain to Australia" arrival marking; diagonal crease at bottom of cover of no consequence, otherwise Very Fine and rare, signed Sanabria. Estimate $4,000 - 6,000
Of the 364 covers recorded from this first England-to-Australia flight, Eustis notes only 11 originating in Singapore. This cover, not included in his list, is thus just the 12th known. Suggested Bid $4,000-6,000 (Image)

Australia, Airmail, 1920 (July 30), "By Herald Aerial Delivery" vignette, on cover from Melbourne to Traralgon, cover franked by 1½d Victoria for postage (applied in Melbourne but cancelled on arrival in Traralgon), with brown-on-yellow vignette at upper left properly cancelled by company's "timeclock" handstamp in violet; vertical file fold through middle of cover affects neither vignette nor stamp; accompanied by a second vignette, cancelled on piece, plus a later, smaller format red(dish)-on-yellow label (the latter o.g., never hinged); despite the crease, a Very Fine cover. Estimate $2,000 - 3,000
In response to a railroad strike, the Herald & Times Weekly of Melbourne experimented with using aircraft to deliver their newspapers outside the big cities. There has never been a census of the covers surviving from the 266 sent, but they are encountered far more rarely than Ross-Smith covers. A grand piece of Aussie Airmail history.

The Herald & Times Weekly arranged three additional flights following their inaugural July 30, 1920, flight, producing a different label for each: brown for Aug. 10, 1920 (Melbourne to Hamilton) flight; red for Sept. 1920 flight (promoting Pals boys' magazine); and blue (Apr. 1922, Melbourne-Geelong roundtrip flight). Each was printed in a sheetlet of four (2 x 2) and perforated 11½. Suggested Bid $2,500-3,500 (Image)
