Pro Aero 1960: Fokker F.VIIb/3m Aircraft

Switzerland · 1960 · 10c

This semi-postal airmail stamp, part of the annual Pro Aero series, features a Fokker F.VIIb/3m aircraft in flight. The design highlights the three-engine monoplane which was a significant aircraft for early European airlines, including Switzerland's Swissair. The stamp was issued to raise funds for the promotion of Swiss aviation.

Issued during the Cold War era, this stamp reflects the continued global interest in aviation development and Switzerland's role in civil air transport. The Pro Aero series was a long-standing tradition to support the country's aviation sector.
