Heroes of Aviation "Overprinted with new values"

Indochina, Heroes of Aviation “Overprinted with new values”, February 10th, 1944, Michel Nr. IND 330-331; Since postage for a 10g letter kept going up the 6C stamps were overprinted with a new 10C nominal but the surcharge of 2C was left unchanged. Like all stamps with surcharges these stamps were not very popular with the general public. As a result postally used specimen or postal history featuring these stamps are rare.

Here is the mint set in blocks of four.

Cancelled to order blocks of four.

Postally used set.
