BACKGROUND: This official Airmail postcard was issued in 1924 due to Currency reform after the hyperinflation period. The pre-printed stamp is a stylized wood pigeon with the inscription "Deutsche Flugpost", in new currency (Rentenmark). Format 140 x 90mm. The only text on the card is the word "Absender" in the top left-hand corner of the card and "Flugpostkarte" directy above the vertical dividing line.
