Air Mail

The use of the air mail during the period of the RSI was limited due to adverse war events, the little letters existing are rarities. The only air mail overprinted stamps used belongs to a set issued on 1930/1932 called" Miti e Leggende" and then overprinted in 1943/1944 by GNR.Also some "Fascetti" overprinted this air mail set, but they were not issued (see chapter " Proofs and essays").Regular letters travelled by air mail are extremely rare, the most letters with air mail stamps have philatelic origin.Like for the Brescia issue, were used three types of typographic compositions to overprint these stamps (I°, II° and III° type), see chapter Special Delivery to see differences between types. The quantity issued showed below are the sum of all types.
