The Canadian Aerophilatelic Society

---

The CAS provides a forum for the exchange of information among Canadians who are interested in any aspect of world-wide aerophilately, and for collectors from around the world who are interested in Canadian aerophilately. This is mainly achieved through our newsletter, The Canadian Aerophilatelist, which is published quarterly. If you would like a sample copy of the newsletter, please click here. A SHORT GUIDE TO CANADIAN AEROPHILATELY Produced by THE CANADIAN AEROPHILATELIC SOCIETY (Last revised February, 2020) Website maintained by Steve Johnson

It was with deep regret that I must inform the membership of the passing of our dear friend and past president, Richard K. "Dick" Malott. Dick was a friend and mentor to many in the philatelic community and promoted Canadian airmail whenever he had the chance. The CAS has produced this PDF file which highlights Dick's many accomplishments. "Per Ardua Ad Astra" (Through Adversity to the Stars). May you rest in eternal peace. Dick Malott Biography
