Lebanon, 1946 Victory Issue, Airmail

Lebanon · 1946 · 25p

This airmail stamp commemorates the Allied victory in World War II. The design features a Latécoère 631 flying boat soaring over Beirut harbor, with the iconic Cedar of Lebanon, a national symbol, prominently displayed on the right.

Issued shortly after Lebanon gained full independence in 1943 and following the end of WWII, this stamp symbolizes a new era of national sovereignty and global reconnection.
