AIRMAIL
HINDENBURG L.Z.129
(flights to North America)
Issued on 16th March 1936. Watermark is swastika, Valid until 31 Dec 1937. Due to the poor quality of paper used in the production of these stamps (high sulphuric acid content) these stamps can be brittle and damage easily. These stamps were designed by Diebitsch and engraved on sheets (10x10) and were Perf K 14½:14. Type 'x' have the swastika leg to the left and tyoe 'y' have the swastika leg to the right.
At the time of issue the Hindenburg hadn't even completed her proving flight nevermind crossed the Atlnatic for which the stamps were issued. These stamps were primarily for use on mail carried on the Zeppelin and there were 3 special postmarks used to frank this mail, however they were also used on normal mail.
