Morocco 1943-44 Airmail Set, Sultan Mohammed V

Morocco · 1943 · 10fr, 20fr, 30fr

This set of three airmail stamps features a portrait of Sultan Mohammed V, who ruled Morocco from 1927 to 1953 and again from 1955 to 1961. The design is framed by intricate Moorish patterns, with a stylized airplane depicted at the top, signifying its purpose for airmail postage. The stamps were issued in denominations of 10, 20, and 30 francs.

Issued under the French Protectorate, these stamps reflect the era's dual Franco-Moroccan identity. Sultan Mohammed V would later become a key figure in the Moroccan nationalist movement, leading to the country's independence from France in 1956.
