In the June issue we look back a century to recall the establishment of the United States airmail service, the world’s first permanent scheduled service of its type, in 1918. We also feature the London district posts of the late 19th century, which were a precursor to modern postcodes, and the British company which manufactured the paper for the first self-adhesive stamps, with its distinctive butterfly emblem. Our regular Commonwealth Classics feature admires the first pictorial issue of the Cayman Islands, our Great Engravers slot showcases the work of Claude Durrens, our GB Themes pages consider historic battles and our new Eyewitness Accounts series continues with a cover revealing the horrors of the holocaust. In our news pages, you’ll find full details of Royal Mail’s new set illustrating Owls, as well as interesting new issues from around the world, while Auction Highlights includes two lots which fetched more than £300,000.
