I fully agree with René. I don't see the point on having to translate Russian. A lot of us, haven't English as mother tonge, but make our contributions on that language. I think, this should be the rule. But, it's just my view.

I seemed to have kicked an "own goal" I was certain I had a collection of Postal Stationery "CHEVRONS" as I refer to them, Alas! just 1 scan resulted in my databasel search. I did find some attempt at "AIR POSTAL LIVERY" (The paper design INSIDE Australian air post letters) Some "Chevrons" as found in a random lot. Australia Vietnam CV : $45

A cover with an airmail border of a horizontal propellor at the bottom and red and blue vertical chain links used by Pan American Airways. apparently. to test delivery times. There is a November 4, 1946 Pan Am receiving cancel on the reverse, so the cover took three days to travel from New York City to Ciudad Trujillo, Dominican Republic. I know nothing about this program, but have seen several of the test covers. The return of the cover includes airmail postage from the destination country.

A recent acquisition for the "Wings' category of my variant airmail borders collection. This one is curious in that the stylized wings and globe with orbiting moon appear to be printed upside down on both the front and back of the envelope. The reverse, turned upside down , shows them how I think they should appear. Don StampHinger Upside down border?
Right side up border?

Another Pan American Airways Airmail Test cover with a twin-engined aircraft border, this one prepared by a a collector and bearing Brazilian return postage. The airmail border continues along the top and bottom edges on the reverse of the cover. The day of posting is missing in the cancel dial, but there is a Rio de Janeiro Nov 3, 1946, receiving cancel on the reverse. Don StampHinger
