We follow the international news on all philatelic items, but especially on aerophilately and astrophilately: exhibitions, news from our members, flash-news on specific items (first flights etc.), obituaries, F.I.P. news, ... If you have any news you want to see published on these pages, please send us the information.
The Board of Directors of the American Air Mail Society offered the 2025 Kingdom Award for publishing to the "Handbuch und Katalog Caritative Ballonpost 1946-2022", edited and published by Johannes E. Palmer, President of F.I.S.A.
The Kingdom Award is to the best overall aerophilatelic catalog, book, monograph, or pamphlet published in the previous year.
The true value and strength of the Society is found in the scholarship of its members. We are all richer when philatelic knowledge expands. You continue to share your expertise through authorship and we appreciate it.
David S. Ball President AAMS

I would like to congratulate all exhibitors on behalf of FISA !
