Message: George Saqqal Postal History 9728 Third Avenue, #556 Brooklyn, NY 11209 Telephone(718) 238-6354 Email: saqqal@msn.com June 29, 2009 Gentlemen I am researching an article on the Berlin Airlift and want to illustrate it with photocopies of covers from US Navy Squadrons VR-3, VR-6 and VR-8 as well as covers from Royal Air Force, Royal Australian Air Force, Royal New Zealand Air Force, and the South African Air Force squadrons that also flew in the airlift. Ideally, postmarks should be from the period June 25, 1948 to September 1949. Do you hold any such artifacts of this historic event? They need not need the original cards and letters, just clear photocopies that I can reproduce in the article. Full credit will be given in the article to the owners. Thanks for your attention to this request. George Saqqal USCS #9389
