The Air Mail Society of New Zealand was founded in 1930 at the commencement of regular aerial services in this country. It has since then reflected this nations abiding interest in everything aviation. From 1935 the Society has published a regular magazine and then it wasn't long before the first of a series of handbook was published. This first edition dealing with the Internal flights of New Zealand has since been followed by others dealing with external flights, aviation cinderellas and updates on earlier volumes. |
The Society while based in Christchurch, has one quarter of its members elsewhere in New Zealand and another half residing in overseas countries. These members are kept in touch through a monthly newsletter and regular postal auctions. |

The Air Mail Society has long participated in Stamp Exhibition. For the 1961 National show in Christchurch, The Air Mail Society was one of the four organising Societies. The label shown at left reflects this involvement and indicates that members were interested in aviation matters from the early flights to those jet flights of the 1960's. Since then of course the Society interests have expanded to include modern aviation such as supersonic flights, helicopter mails, pigeon posts and space flights.. |
SPECIAL FLIGHT COVERS
1940 Around the World flight cover
Because New Zealand is an Island Nation, and a long, often mountainous one far flung from other countries, its population have come to rely on aircraft as a sensible means of communication and travel. During the Second World War an extra-ordinary effort saw New Zealand provide the largest number of personnel to the Allied Air Forces of any country on a per capita basis. |
