The Fifteen-cent Prexie

Newfoundland airmail use

The airmail rate per half ounce to Newfoundland by FAM or British Air was fifteen cents from May 1, 1942 to November 1, 1946.

This cover was sent from New York to Newfoundland in 1944. There is no sign of censorship, which may indicate that it was carried by FAM.

This cover was sent from Newfoundland by a civilian contractor before October 21, 1942, when the military concession rate became available to him. APO 863 was located at Argentia.
