Kenya, Uganda & Tanganyika: No Air Letter Service to the US

British Forces air letter form (Adby F9A-1o). Sent from Nairobi (machine cancel 16 SEP 1946) to Bloomfield, US. Private, commercial use.

The 25 c franking was for air letter service to London only. Hence, the “By Air Mail” routing instruction was obliterated with a red handstamp (2 thick bars) at London and the air letter was diverted to surface mail to the US.
