Sudan 1938 Airmail Overprints Set of 4

Sudan · 1938 · 5 Milliemes, 3 Piastres, 5 Piastres

This set of four stamps from Sudan, issued in 1938, features various original denominations overprinted with new values for airmail service. The base designs depict a camel rider in a desert landscape, a characteristic motif for early Sudanese stamps.

These overprints were issued to adjust postal rates for airmail services, reflecting the growing importance of air transport for mail delivery in the late 1930s and the need for updated postage values.
