APRIL 11:
ILOILO to FORT STOTSENBURG
Both part
of the back flights of the 1931 Tour to the Southern Islands
under the
command of Major Ira Peak.
Backstamped
CAMP STOTSENBURG,
P.I. REC'D. / PAMP. / APR 17 2 PM
Part of
AAMC #43. The ILOILO to STOTSENBURG flight I would place between #43K and
#43L. Clearly indicated as #43L is ANGELES to TACLOBAN, so logically a
TACLOBAN to ANGELES or STOTSENBURG should exist and now, beyond doubt,
it does. At the same time, since the flight was made via Manila, a MANILA
to TACLOBAN should exist but to date, not one has been reported.
The AAMC
needs to be re-written not by just adding these two covers and the many
that have been discovered in the past to the list but to relist numbers
with multiple flights in their proper sequence and not just list them at
random. I personally have prepared my own listing. At present it is not
yet definite as the list was arrived after seeing just two major collections.
A third major collection is necessary to really validate the information
at hand. Any volunteers? |
