1920, 10c. "Tilted Plane", a very fine and well centred example tied by "CCNA/Cartagena" oval, used on postcard from Cartagena to Barranquilla on the First Flight, upfranked, according to the stipulated 1 1/2 centavos postal rate for postcards, with diagonal half of National Post 3c. which was applied adjacent to the vignette, both tied by "Correo Aéreo./Cartagena-Colombia." c.d.s., and 23 February receipt large c.d.s. of Barranquilla also tying the franking. One of the 10 items known with this vignette carried on this flight; the fascination of this postcard is greatly enhanced by the extremely rare usage of a bisected National Post stamp, of which only two examples are recorded accompanying a C.C.N.A. vignette. Signed Calves. Scott C4. Ex Augusto Peinado.
