Transport and stamp collecting have been brought together in this special book looking at the way postage stamps have increased our knowledge of transport worldwide. The collecting of stamps or philately is a fascinating hobby looking at the development of postal services in all its forms, designs of stamps that have evolved since the Victorian Penny-Black to today's creations, often artistic but dependent more and more on photography. The book covers the British Isles, Europe, the Eastern Mediterranean, Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific region, the Americas with beautiful gliders, seaplanes, single engine planes to airbuses in Brazil and Argentina on stamps of five pesos, a BAE Sea Harrier from the Falkland Islands on a £5 stamp, US Thunderbirds and Canadian Snowbirds, stamps from Indochina, the unmistakable images of Concorde and the Chengdu J10, a Xian JH-7 The Flying Leopard, and the Comac C919, a narrow-body twin jet airliner among these gleaming flying machines. Page after page of beautiful colour reproductions of stamps on 128 glossy white pages.
