Can anybody give me biographical or background information regarding B. Blumenthal? He was an addressee on the final two firings of pioneer rocket mail by the Australian Rocket Society in 1937.

Most previous covers were mostly addressed to either Noel Morrison or Alan H Young, the chief officers of the A.R.S. Was Blumenthal a member of A.R.S.? Was he elected to the committee in some capacity? Was he a stamp dealer?

Or, was he a known Air-Mail collector associated with others such as Dellenbag, Kronstein and Kessler?

All information gratefully received.
