	Airmail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Airmail may be the only option for sending mail to some destinations, such as overseas, if the mail cannot wait the time it would take to arrive by ship, sometimes weeks.
		The choice to send a letter by air is indicated either by a handwritten note on the envelope, by the use of special labels called airmail etiquettes, or by the use of specially-marked envelopes.
		The study of airmail is known as aerophilately.

	Preparing for Takeoff (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Airmail is the philatelic and postal historical reflection of the developmentof aviation and its effect on world communications.
		Special airmail markings applied to the airmail, the transit times reflected in dispatch and arrival postmarks, and the airmail postage rates all indicate the means of flight and the route taken.
		You can build a collection of airmail stamps which is as broad as a single copy of every airmail stamp which has been issued worldwide, or as narrow as a specialized look at a single series or a single issue.

	Airmail etiquette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		An airmail etiquette, often shortened to just etiquette, is an adhesive label used to indicate that a letter is to be sent by airmail.
		Since the etiquettes are basically just notes to postal clerks, and have no monetary value, their printing and distribution need not be as carefully controlled as for postage stamps, and most are privately produced.
		The airmail etiquette may be omitted if airmail stamps are used on the letter, and in some cases even this is not necessary if a country sends out all its foreign mail by air.

		Pigeons probably carried the first "airmail." During the German siege of Paris in 1867, balloons were used to lift mail up and away from the beleaguered city.
		The first recorded airmail flight occurred in India in 1911, when aviation was in its infancy and regular airmail service was only a dream.
		For years, however, the limiting factor was still the airplane: airmail could only be carried for short distances, and at great expense, and then only if crash landings were avoided.

		However, what is usually meant by airmail is mail carried by an aircraft, and here the earliest flights were made by balloon.
		All of them however, had two major drawbacks, none of them were regularly scheduled flights (all were subject to the vagaries of the weather) and none could know their exact final destination (since the balloons were dependent on the winds, they - and the mail - would be moved whither the air currents carried them).
		There were 22 aircraft in the airmail fleet, which was made up of several model types: the Hansa-Brandenburg C1 (most of the aircraft), the Oeffag C2, and the Knoller-Albatros B1.
