This 2d commemorative stamp from The Gambia, issued in 1969, marks the 35th Anniversary of Pioneer Air Services (1934–1969). It features the ship “Westfalen” and a Dornier Wal seaplane, symbolizing the early collaboration between sea and air transport that connected West Africa to Europe. The design cleverly depicts the route between South America and Africa, with the historic Lufthansa logo at upper right. The issue celebrates the dawn of intercontinental airmail and maritime coordination that laid foundations for modern air services in the region.
