Postal History Sunday #249
From damaged Air Mail to Squash today! Thanks Rob. Have a safe, thoughtful, and happy Memorial Day.
I was interested in the aircraft used on the stamp. A little research indicates that these "twin-engine transport plane" stamps used an artist's concept of a transport plane, with characteristics of several aircraft of the day, like the DC-3 but also the Lockheed Electra and Beech 18.
