Summary

Description
English: Poland, Michel II; Sanabria 502, mint. 1921 100m blue semi-official issue. Forgery.

Stamp issued by the Aero-Targ Company, in agreement with the Polish Ministry of Post & Telegraph. Aero-Targ stamps had to be bought for airmail in addition to the normal express postage rate, payable by usage of regular Polish stamps.

The stamp was designed by Wilhelm Rudy (initials W.R. on the stamps) and crudely lithographed. Perforated 11.25 but also known imperforated. This 100 mark value shows a Junkers F-13 plane dropping mail over Poznan. Attached to each stamp was an advertising label, inscribed T.A.B.R.O.M.I.K., for vodka factory TAdeusz BROnislaw MIKolajczyk.

The first flights from Poznan to Gdansk and to Warsaw were on 29 May 1921. The first return flight from Warsaw to Poznan was on 31 May 1921. There were daily return flights until June 16 1921. A special winged postmark was used from May 29 to June 16 1921 at the Poznan Fair Flights. Postmarks with dates after June 16 1921 are fake.
