Airmail

Airmail is almost always very straightforward. Please note you do not describe markings that simply denote airmail. The wording in the cancel or in the type of mail service part of the description suffices.

If the wording Airmail or Air Mail appears in the cancel, it does not have to be repeated in the type of mail service section.
