dc.descriptionA talk given to the members of the Malta Philatelic Society on 3rd November, 2010.en_GB
dc.description.abstractAs a schoolboy I enjoyed collecting stamps (and still do). I also liked to build and fly model aeroplanes and as a young man worked for De Havillands. Consequently, after about 50 years I have been able to connect the two interests in the form of a talk. It has always amazed me how quickly the development of the wood, wire and canvas planes progressed from the first successful flight by the American Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk in 1903, to the first Airmail Postal Services in 1911 and then passenger aircraft, etc. The subject has been very well researched and documented by specialists. All I have tried to do is to put my material into an interesting 'story' mainly from 1903 to 1911. [excerpt]en_GB
