Philippines · 1935 · 10c

This airmail stamp features a biplane flying over the iconic Mount Mayon, a stratovolcano known for its nearly perfect conical shape. The design, rendered in dark blue, captures the spirit of early aviation and the natural beauty of the Philippines. The inscription "AIR MAIL" is prominently displayed at the bottom.
