Burma: Inland Letter Used as an Aerogramme


In 1955 the Burmese postal authorities ran short of aerogrammes. To fill demand they added a handstamp changing the type designation of a 15 P inland letter to "AIR LETTER / AEROGRAMME" and added a 35 P additional franking.

Endorsed "BY AIR MAIL", the inland letter above is used as an aerogramme about two years later (sent from RANGOON 11 JA 57 to France) without showing the official type designation handstamp. At that time, regular 50 P aerogrammes were available.
