WHEN NUMISMATISTS FLY 

   Michael E. Marotta writes: "I bought the catalog for the 
   Bowers & Ruddy sale of the collection of James A. 
   Doolittle.  Not only was he not the aviator, he was not even 
   Eliza's dad. 

   Nice collection, though, and nice snapshots of Carol 
   Burnett and Henry Fonda. My experience is that aviating 
   and collecting are two different mindsets.  In my case, 
   they overlap. I have met other numismatists who fly. 
   I have never met any fliers who also collect.  Do any 
   E-Sylum readers know of auctions the numismatic (or 
   philatelic) collections of aviators?"
