#21006

Air Mails of Canada 1925-1939 (Arfken and Plomish, 2000; subtitle: The Development and Postal History of National and International Mails) The subtitle says it all; this is an excellent discussion of the airmails of the period and is the only such book that I have seen that addresses the domestic airmails. Well-written and with lots and lots of cover illustrations. Includes a tremendous amount of postal rate information, though one has to dig a little for it. This is best used in conjunction with the Whiteley book. Has a very good index, 230 pages, softbound. Highly recommended. Original publication price was $65 -- this is a super deal.

Canada Foreign and Overseas Airmail Rates 1925-1942 (Whiteley, 2000; full title: Official Air Mail Rates to Foreign and Overseas Destinations as Established by the Canadian Post Office: 1925-December 1942) Much more than a "rate book", this 65-page book discusses the development of the routes, including maps, details and timing of specific services, etc. One does have to dig for the actual rates, but still extremely useful and quite interesting. Best used in conjunction with the Arfken & Plomish book.
