There were two sets of airmail stamps issued, one in 1925, and then
another in 1929. Take care with the 1925 set as forgeries abound, they
are easy to spot, most are on white paper with a shiny appearance, also
the perforation gauge is usually incorrect. Ironically the forgeries
have become collectable in their own right. A wide range of flight
covers can be found; most are philatelic creations rather than being
genuine commercial mail. There is much written about airmails and
students of these will find plenty of information available. The
aeroplane was a real success in Africa as the large distances between
cities, towns and villages suddenly became relatively shorter!
