I’ve always thought that the war era and conflict zone issues are the most interesting. So much stuff was going on either with conflict/occupation and inflationary issues. Makes for a boatload of overprints and varieties! Great video 👍
The war era definitely generaged a number of fascinating and unique philatelic items. Overprints are always so much fun, though as Allan is always pointing out, easier to forge. In this case, these stamps are post-war era, but Roger nicely captures how they really stemmed from the war. So glad you enjoyed the video! 👍
Thank you, Ali! These post-war airmail stamps really do capture an interesting moment in history, blending art with the challenges of the era, don't they. Best regards from New York city to Istanbul!
It’s fascinating to see those two styles side by side-they really are such a contrast. The "busy, scholarly" stamps you’re referring to have a timeless quality, while the stark, clean lines of the post-war ones that Roger details capture the artistic feel of their era. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Thanks, great presentation. I like the "busy, scholarly" stamps more. 🙂
