Description: Benjamin Berl Lipsner [1887 1971] referred to as the ''father of commercial aviation'' was an American military officer and civil servant who was appointed as the first supervisor of the Post Office Department's airmail service in 1918. During World War I, he served as a captain in the United States Army Signal Corp's Air Service, supervising the mechanical upkeep of the Army planes used for airmail service. Upon the transfer of the airmail service from the army to the Post Office Department he was appointed as the first supervisor on August 12, 1918. Listed for auction is a limited-edition commemorative cover signed by Benjamin Berl Lipsner. The cover commemorates the Silver Anniversary of the first airplane flight 1903 - 1928 by the Wright Brothers. The cover contains a beautiful ink cachet and is signed ''B.B. Lipsner'' in green fountain pen above his imprinted name and title as the first Superintendent of the U.S. Post Office Department in 1918. The cover is postmarked Kitty Hawk, N.C. Dec 17, 1928, and is affixed with one U.S. postage stamp. The cover measures 9.50 x 4.00 inches, with trivial toning otherwise in fine condition. This cover was designed by Lipsner personally to commemorate the 25th anniversary, the examples signed by him are not common and are very desirable. The autograph is authentic, and the cover is a very desirable example signed by the first U.S. Post Office Supervisor.
