Morocco 1943-44 Airmail Set, Sultan Hassan Tower & Stork

Morocco · 1943 · 1fr, 2fr, 5fr

This airmail set features a bicolored design depicting a stork in its nest atop the famous Hassan Tower in Rabat. The three denominations, 1 franc, 2 francs, and 5 francs, share the same design but are printed in different color combinations. The intricate design highlights both Moroccan wildlife and its significant historical architecture.

Issued under the French Protectorate, these stamps facilitated airmail services during World War II. The Hassan Tower, the minaret of an incomplete 12th-century mosque, is a prominent national symbol of Morocco.
