Aerophilately of the 1933-34 Century of Progress Exposition

Part I
Initially, the intent of the Exposition planners was to celebrate the centenary of the founding of the City of Chicago by highlighting the city's first hundred years in a historical retrospective. As plans matured, however, the primary theme of the fair became the advancements of mankind through science, making it a showcase for modern living, consumerism and entertainment.

In keeping with the fair's theme, several consequential aviation events and displays were mounted. These and their philatelic aspects are the subject of this presentation.



Part II
Part II of Aerophilately of the 1933-34 Century of Progress Exhibition 1933-34 offers a postscript to General Italo Balbo's fair visit in 1933, as well as the competitive aviation events at the fair, the balloon and air races. This is followed by the GoodYear blimps at the fair, the visits by the dirigibles Macon and Graf Zeppelin, and the demonstrations of the Adams non-stop air mail pick-up and delivery system.
