This 1940 airmail series from Greece features various mythological and historical scenes related to flight and the sea. Designs include depictions of Icarus, the Argo, Nike of Samothrace, and early aircraft, symbolizing Greece's ancient and modern connection to the skies and exploration.

Issued shortly before Greece was drawn into World War II, this set was intended for airmail postage but saw limited use due to the ensuing conflict and occupation.
