Madagascar Airmail Stamp

Madagascar · 1935 · 50c

This stamp features a Latécoère 28 monoplane flying over a Malagasy landscape, with mountains in the background. It was part of the first series of airmail stamps issued for Madagascar, designed to facilitate the growing international air post services.

Issued in 1935, this stamp represents the expansion of French colonial airmail routes in the 1930s, connecting the island of Madagascar more efficiently with metropolitan France and the rest of the world.
