France & Colonies Philatelic Society: Development of French Airmail in Morocco 1911-1923

Presented by Larry Gardner to the France and Colonies Philatelic Society (US), this presentation traces the development of airmail service in Morocco, describing how the air pioneers attempted to prove that mail could be moved by air. It starts with the first experimental flight in 1911 and ends in 1923 as routes start to become regular and airmail starts to become a standard form of moving mail in Morocco.
