Aegean Islands under 1912 & later Italian rule

To complement this wonderful series of stamps from the Aegean Islands under 1912 & later Italian rule:
Rodi (Rhodes) Air Post Stamps  1935-1938 - Scott # C1a-C4a (series)

The Italian Islands of the Aegean  were a group of twelve major islands (the Dodecanese) in the southeastern Aegean Sea, which — together with the surrounding islets — were ruled by the Kingdom of Italy from 1912 to 1943 and the Italian Social Republic from 1943 to 1945. (part ref: Wiki)
Thank you Nelson @falshung for this thread !!

Nelson, I have really been enjoying seeing these, and I am looking forward to the rest.  I have a few of these myself, but nowhere near the level of completeness or the quality of the stamps or their images that you have shown.  I know that centering is a major issue with these classic Italian stamps, and yours are excellent.  You really did have an incredible collection, and you have done a masterful job on the images which you are now sharing with us.

One of these days, after I have finished working full-time, I aspire to do something along the lines that you have done.  I will need to begin by getting a good scanner and learning how to use it correctly, and then document the best of my collection.  I have managed to acquire some pretty nice stamps I think, but I have not yet made the investment in a good scanner, and probably will not until after my time in France is over.

Sorry for my digression there.  The point is, I am really enjoying seeing the images from your collection, Nelson, and I hope you will continue to share everything that you feel like sharing.  I just wanted to let you know that you have given me something to admire now and to aim for in the future.... thanks for that!
