Additional Information

The stamps were in regular use until May 20, 1932 in p.t.t. stations in Sofia (post office), Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas, Ruse, Lom, Gabrovo and Pleven, where air mail was accepted. The nominal values corresponded to ordinary airmail to Strasbourg (263), Paris (264) and Lyon or Marseilles (265). It was planned with the collected correspondence on May 17, 1932 that a special plane would fly from Sofia to Strasbourg, which did not happen. In the days of use of the series, the received correspondence was stamped in Sofia with a special date stamp (with an airplane) in black ink, and on May 17, 1932 - in red ink. Most of the letters actually traveled with 263-265 were sent to Vienna by train and from there to Paris by plane or train. The stamps not sold within the specified period of use were then sold for philatelic purposes, after which the remainder of about 17,000 series were used for internal postal use, charging the dispatch of newspapers at Sofia station.
