Airmail unther study

Left: Our#51 Type S, with the cliche nail northwest of the dent. Sheet No. 1 shows only the dent at Field 17, while Sheet No. 2 shows the dent and the nail at Field 7. The trailing edge break on Page 1 appears in neither sheet, and is unique in our group of four samples.

Report No. 24 (1979) contained studies of two full sheets of Mi. #51. Since that time, much more information has surfaced (it was always there, but we missed it), and we will present a more complete report in 1987.

Right Top: Mi. #511 as seen in Field 83 of Sheet No. 1. Even though the plate was overinked and some open spaces have been filled, some differences in the openings can be ascertained when compared with their other sheet.

Right Bottom: On Sheet No. 2, the 511 appears in Field 93. It was a member of a 10-stamp
cliche that was moved from the ninth line to the tenth when a new line was inserted near the top. This also may explain why our Type S was shifted from Line 2 (Sheet No. 1) to Line 1 (Sheet No. 2), but more work is required to determine which line was actually added to the sheet.
