Between 1932 and 1937, the Republic of China issued a set of air post stamps (Sc. Cli -C20) that showed Junkers Fl 3 over the Great Wall. In 1945 and still under the Japanese occupation, the stamps were superimposed with a surcharge, and with an overprint showing the symbol of a bomb. The stamps (Sc. 9N111-9N114) issued under the Japanese administration, were designed to depict air raid precaution propaganda. The four stamps are illustrated in figure five. On July 17th, 1945, four month after the stamps became available, an air raid by Allied Forces killed accidentally approximately fifty Jewish refugees and many Chinese inhabitants. http://www.rickshaw.org/stamps.htm Collecting stamps is tough ,what about Junkers!!!
