Historical Context:
In 1930, Brazil issued a special set of overprinted airmail stamps to commemorate and service the transatlantic flights of the famous German airship Graf Zeppelin (LZ 127). These stamps were used exclusively on mail carried during the flights, making them highly desirable among philatelists. The series includes several denominations, with the Rs. 5$000 value being one of the most notable. Covers and postcards flown on these Zeppelin flights are even more valuable.
