Katherine Stinson was an American. She was the first female pilot to deliver airmail in Canada.
There are American FDC's honouring Katherine Stinson, but have not seen a Canadian FDC.
Good luck in your search Cheryl.

Well Canadian FDC's about this woman which you could buy : Hard to find.
On eBay lots of photos indeed, no FDC's.
I have made contact with the Alberta Philatelic Society and BNAPS I found a few covers in case other collectors are interested
Thanking members for the info
Cheryl
I have been working on several airmail covers and trying to organize them to tell a bit of Canadian Aviation history.
I`m wondering if there are any prepared FDCs to honour Katherine Stinson ,the first female pilot in Canada. Sometimes Stamp Clubs recognize aviation pioneers in Stamp Shows. 2018 would have marked the 100th Anniversary of the 1st airmail delivery in Western Canada. Did any club recognize this achievement ? Can anyone help locate a cover ? Thanks
