Canadian Forces air letter form sent by a member of UNMOGIP (United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan) to Canada in February 1974. Originally franked with Pakistani stamps, the air letter was taxed as short paid and returned to the sender for 50 Paisa additional postage.
The instructional handstamp reads "KAR. AIR 3 / DATE.......... / UN-PAID / RETURNED / PLEASE AFFIX / ......... PAISA / STAMP MORE". A box to which the additional stamps were to affix is on the right hand side of the instruction.
However, no additional Pakistani stamps were affixed and the air letter most likely travelled to UN headquarters in New York in courier mail. There, a 11 c UN New York stamp was affixed and the letter was forwarded to Canada on Feb 19, 1974.
In 1974 the air letter rate of UN New York was 15 c.
