MARYLAND. "Lieut. John Rogers making Flight in Wright Biplane at / U. S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md." post card mailed OCT 11 1914, published by I. & M. Ottenheimer in Baltimore, made in the USA, trivial corner rounding. Once you realize the surname in the caption is misspelled--Rogers should be Rodgers--it all make sense. Pioneer aviator Calbraith P. Rodgers demonstrated the possibility of carrying mail by airplane, in part by delivering mail to his brother Lieutenant John R. Rodgers at Annapolis. Rare, quite possibly because of the important misspelling.

Cinching the deal is the addressing: there are many Wert families living in Crawford County. So Amos Wilson worked out of the Tiro Post Office, most likely servicing rural people he knew in Auburn Township. $11.00 o(a)o(t)pgc-ro

The tropical storm Hazel (to the residents it was a hurricane & it long remained so in their memories) hit the town in the fall of 1953, so the view is necessarily 1953 or earlier.
