Botswana/Bechuanaland First Flight Covers
Quote from pthy@ucdavis.edu on May 13, 2023, 5:14 amThis subject may be a bit outside the interest of most members of this website.
I am writing a summary of the evolution of aviation in Bechuanaland/Botswana. Wanted to include illustrations of first flight covers, but unfortunately all my cover has been forwarded for auction sale and I on longer have access to them.
Can somebody that collects the subject and have some of the below covers be able to get m good scans? I am looking for (but not restricted to these):
Imperial Airways 1932
West Coast Feeder Service
Kalahari Feeder Service 1938
BNA Service Johannesburg to Gaberones 1966
Anything missing like:
Central Africa Airways between Bulawayo and Maun
And anything that I have overlooked. Ideally mailed to or from Bechuanaland.
Would appreciate any suggestions and help
Peter
