Papua New Guinea: Uprated Aerogramme
Papua New Guinea aerogramme (Roggenkaemper/Russ/Wiegand #16) used to the US in 1989. The aerogramme had an enclosure, so the air mail letter rate applied. The air mail letter rate in 1989 was 70 t, so this aerogramme was either overpaid by 35 t or fell into the second weight step.
