German Airmail "Wooden Dove"
Germany · 1922 · 20 Mark
A stylized airplane, often referred to as the 'wooden dove', is depicted flying over a landscape, with 'FLUGPOST' (Airmail) at the top.
Issued during the Weimar Republic's hyperinflation period, this stamp reflects the burgeoning airmail service in post-WWI Germany and the rapidly increasing postal rates.
