Thank you for your support, Simon .
1976 marked the 30th anniversary of continuous operations by Philippine Airlines. PAL services had been interrupted during World War II. ( In 1935 the Philippine Congress had approved the franchise of " Philippine Aerial Taxi Company ", and the first flight had taken place by " Philippine Air Lines " between Manila and Baguio in 1941 ). By 1972 President Marcos had implemented a " one airline policy " ( PAL ) as part of his declaration of Martial Law.
These stamps show Douglas DC-3 and DC-10 :-
While on the theme of airmail, this block of stamps featuring the " Baguio Zigzag road " - one of the first pictorial stamps in the country ( 1932 ) - was overprinted the following year by the Philippine Bureau of Printing, as dedicated airmail stamps were not issued until 1947.
