would you like me to scan in the article from the 1938 Flying Aces issue where the insurance was first offered?[>:] I have the issue. It was a fairly low value policy. 50 cents a year for $200 liability. The explaination was it was intended to cover things like a plane hitting a car and breaking the windshield.
The AMA has had some insurance available as an option or as a basic part of membership ever since.
***************
The AMA has had some form of safety code for just about as long.... I think I could come up with some 1930's to 1940's editions that list that too.
Sure, scan it. Oh, and while your at it, be sure to scan the Safety Code you say you have always had to obey for it to provide coverage. Be sure it is something that shows the link between the safety code as is now the case. You know, like "I understand that my failure to comply with the Safety Code may endanger my insurance coverage." Something that shows the link between the safety code and insurance back then.
Make sure it supports your statement that:" Sorry... tha AMA insurance has ALWAYS been valid as long as you flew within AMA safety code rules."
