1944 Transadriatic route

In the summer of 1944, Transadriatic mail was established. Military aviation maintained the connection between the island of Vis and airports in Bari and Lecce.

Transadriatic military route.

Until recently, a letter from Lecce was not known.

Transadriatic military mail from Lecce (21.IX.1944) to the position of VIII corpus.

The backside of the envelope with affixed label and bilingual cancel "★ / JUGOSLAV. OFICIR ZA VEZU / YUGOSLAV LIAISON OFFICER / LECCE".

The same bilingual cancel was used as the letter header.
