Does anyone know of an accurate list of the attendees of Postmaster general Brown’s so-called “Spoils Conference” in 1930?

In the 1930’s a couple of German passenger ships catapulted a mail-carrying plane toward the destination country thus initiating a form of airmail whih predated the Pan American Clippers. I believe one of the ships was the Europa. I would like to find a book or article describing this phase of airmail history.

Thank you! SNTANN@AOL.COM

Yes please send pictures, I have some old cachet covers myself and do not have any idea as to where to get references on these, no artist is indicated on any of them they seem to be of confederate war and Lincoln in content. I think by looking at one they seem to be printed in the 40’s but not sure of that either as one refers to period of 76 and 41 only. Can you help here?
Very much appreciate any assistance I can get!
