"For over eighty years the history of Delaware aviation lay dormant. In spite of the many world records established by Delaware-built airplanes, no one seemed to care. Tucked away, in the archives of the Hagley Museum & Library, Delaware Public Archives, and the Wilmington Historical Society, were scattered fragments of memorabilia. When I registered as an aviation researcher, the staff in charge of the archives appeared to be astonished at the subject matter I requested. Apparently, few requests had been made for Delaware aviation information. In addition to archival sources, additional material was located in cardboard boxes stored in the attics of families whose kin were part of the era. The decision to commit the time and expense was relatively easy. I was retired from a printing company I founded over forty years ago. The timing was right to accept a new challenge. From the onset, I felt I would have to struggle to have a finished product consisting of one hundred pages. After all, Delaware is the second smallest state in the union. How wrong I was! Who the first person was to see Delaware from aloft became the starting point of my research. Balloon flight was the first successful attempt to fly, and that is where it all began. Once the Wright brothers flew a heavier than air machine, the interest in aviation spread like wildfire. By 1909, Delaware aviation-minded enthusiasts began to build an aeroplane that was flown from Wawaset Park in Wilmington. On May 27, 1927, Charles Lindbergh flew nonstop from New York to Paris. Four years later a Delaware-built Bellanca spanned the Pacific nonstop from Tokyo to Washington State. The same year, another Delaware-built Bellanca set a new World's Distance Record for flying nonstop from New York to Istanbul, Turkey, a distance of over 5,000 miles! Continued research and interviews began to uncover more and more long-forgotten Delaware aviation history. The first year passed and the second loomed ahead with no end in sight. At this point I felt like a paratrooper on his first jump. Once you jumped, there was no wishing you were back in the airplane. I was committed. There was no turning back. The photographs, purchased and donated, exceeded 500. I began tracking people and events on the Internet. Requests for information went as far as Canada and Hawaii. Day-long trips were made to the National Archives and NASM in Washington, DC. On many occasions when I completed a chapter, new information would surface, and new copy would have to be inserted. My disc drive could no longer hold the material, and I had to add a Zip drive to store the files. The end came on July 15, 1989, when the final proof was signed off to go to press. It is written in a layman's language for all to understand. Delaware Aviation History is now yours to enjoy." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

The author was a noted authority who published widely and also assisted in the design of museum exhibits. Stamped paper is an often-foolscap piece of paper which bears a pre-printed revenue stamp. Stamped papers are not a form of postal stationery. The use of stamped paper in the American colonies was so unpopular that it has been credited with sowing the seeds of the American Revolution. Stamped paper has been widely used around the world to collect taxes on documents requiring stamping, such as leases, agreements, receipts, court documents and many others. The papers are bought blank apart from the pre-printed stamp and are available from stationers, lawyers' offices, post offices and courts according to local regulations. The parties to the matter then write their legal business on the paper and lodge it with the court or other interested party. This is an efficient way of collecting taxes and stamping documents without the need to submit them to a separate government stamp office. Stamped paper is thought to have been a Spanish invention, being introduced (or reinvented) in the Netherlands in the 1620s. It has been used widely in France (from 1651), Great Britain (from 1694), the United States, India and elsewhere. The 1765 Stamp Act required all British colonies in the New World to use stamped paper prepared in London and embossed with a revenue stamp. This led to riots and political agitation which have been credited with sowing the seeds of the American Revolution. Collecting stamped paper is part of revenue philately. The stamp sometimes occupies the entire width of the top part of the paper and is often of an intricate engraved design in order to enhance security. The paper will also frequently have a whole page watermark for the same reason.
