Danzig 1924 Airmail Stamps Planes MUH Set of 5 Michel 202/6

The five new Freistadt Danzig airmail stamps (Mi. #202-06, Sc. #C26-30) were issued during June 1924.  The new designs feature a monoplane over a silhouetted view of the Freistadt Danzig(Free City of Danzig).

During the period of 1924 and 1929, only 27 new stamps were issued, with most of them being definitive postage stamps or airmail stamps.  For the philatelists, specializing in the definitive postage stamps of the Freistadt Danzig, 1924 marked the beginning of an exciting adventure!

During 1924, a brand new series of definitive postage stamps, utilizing a modernistic version of the Coat of Arms definitive types of 1921, began to appear.  Additional printings and new denominations of these definitive stamps would continue until 1938.
