SCADTA (Sociedad Colombo-Alemana de Transportes Aereos) had authority from the Colombian Government to transport mail between numerous cities in Colombia, and to connect these cities with many other countries of the Americas. The transfer point in Columbia to FAM 5 for forwarding to Cristobal was in Barranquilla.
The feature is month has a 4c Columbia mail rate + 25c in SCADTA stamps and a 20c Canal Zone air mail rate to New York. It has an unusual postmark from Honda, Colombia. This is in the Tolima Department in the center of the country.
The second notable feature is the Canal Zone Airmail (CZ C5a) 2c carmine with 20c overprint in which there is a “dropped 2”. This aberration occurred in only seven positions of each pane. |
