British Columbia Airmail / Aviation Ephemera. Victoria BC, TCA (Trans Atlantic Airlines) "First Through Airmail Service" to Ottawa July 7th 1943 TCA, multiple SIGNED souvenir sheet. A "one-off" personal souvenir, using 3 pages of TCA letterhead where someone collected the signatures of 70 representatives or attendees to the event. Many interesting names here, which include the Secretary to the Premier, Secretary to the Mayor, TCA Pilots and Crew, RAF / RCAF personnel, Canadian Press representative and Postmaster (just to name a few). This was a busy couple days for TCA in Victoria, with the Victoria-Vancouver service inaugural flight happening the day before (July 6th). A piece of BC aviation history and in-need of more research to figure out all the names here! Estimate =
