I've read Italy in 1917 had the first airmail stamp, but I can't source it. Can somebody confirm & include? Trekphiler 11:12, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I want to know how much time a Air Mail takes to deliver a envelope from Morristown, TN to India Chennai. Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 121.247.215.210 ( talk • contribs).
I don't personally understand why an e-mail application for OS X, Mailplane is linked from Airmail. I don't think the similar names qualify. - MSTCrow 19:47, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
What page are you using for the translation? Because it is a draft, it should possibly be here because some integration work is needed before putting into the mainspace. Thanks ww2censor ( talk) 17:08, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Comments on Draft Airmail article re-write
I read the draft article and understand its basically from the translation of some article of German origin. With that understood, I think its a great start that would be improved in the following ways. These thoughts just reflect the way I see the overall subject of Airmail as it might be reflected in a WP article.
Ww2Censor--I wasn't quite sure where to put these comments relative to the whole WP Philatelic project but feel free to move them and tweek me on anything you'd like to discuss about them.-- Mike Cline ( talk) 13:48, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
If a consensus develops that the Airmail article should be about Air Mail as a class or type of service then I might suggest the following macro organization. The section headings I am suggesting recognize a couple of realities as relates to airmail and aero philately.
Here’s my first cut at what the outline might look like
Air mail is a class or type of postal service that has traditionally provided the sender faster delivery of postal communications because the mail was ostensibly carried by aircraft instead of surface or seaborne means. Air mail traditionally was a premium, more expensive service for the sender because the mail arrived at its destination faster and was essentially more expensive for the postal authorities to transport than surface mail. Air mail postal rates were typically based on the weight, size and destination of the article being mailed. Prior to WWI, air mail was mainly an experimental means of postal communications as postal authorities, militaries and entrepreneurs began to exploit the rise of aviation. Air mail as a class of postal service grew in importance along with the growth of commercial air transportation in the post WWI era. Airmail as a distinct, important and premium class of postal service began to decline in many parts of the world as air transportation became ubiquitous and the cost differential between surface, seaborne and air transport of mail became negligible.

As I was pondering on the Airmail article and the above discussion, I was considering how the idea of the Airmail Stamp would fit into the Airmail article. I found this already in WP: Airmail stamp redirects to Airmail etiquette and the airmail etiquette article contains the following sentence: 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. A bit of an infinite loop here. Clearly we need an article entitled Airmail stamps that is complementary to the Aerophilately and Airmail articles.-- Mike Cline ( talk) 21:14, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
In the History section, 5 paragraphs from the end, the paragraph begins with
In the same 1928 when this was published
What is the "same 1928"? How could there be a different 1928? Is this wording an artifact of an edit? Should it say "In the same year this book was published"? Or just simply "In 1928"?
