Postage Stamp - History of Russian Aircraft - Polikarpov U-2 (Po-2) 1928 - Soviet Union 1978 - Michel Soviet Union 4751 - my hobby.

Greetings friends!

Today, I want to continue the presentation of the History of Russian Aircraft stamps series, which was continued in 1978.

The first postage stamp with a face value of 4 kopecks of the USSR depicts a light, single-engine biplane Polikarpov U-2 (Po-2) 1928.

I think that within the USSR, this plane was the most famous.

The fact is that after the release of the movie "Heavenly Slug", which talked about the military merits of this aircraft and its pilots, every resident of the former USSR saw it at least a hundred times, lol.

This plane is an example of the fact that there are things that we do not give due importance, but, as it turned out in the aftermath, they can change our life and the course of the war.

The biplane, which, initially, was used to deliver corispondence, as a result, has perfectly established itself as a night bomber that could cross the front line at extremely low altitudes and, unnoticed, for the enemy's zynit, strike behind enemy lines.

In a way, it is the progenitor of the invisible bomber.

In fact, the Soviet troops could immediately bet on this aircraft, but time had to pass, so that it would be obvious, it became clear.

I have coins in my wallet that everyone laughed at, judging by the comments, but I bought them, I like to go against the tide.

As a result, I covered my expenses many times and made a significant profit.

To such coins, slugs, I would include #smsmb. and #urock from the Wallet #steem-Engine, which, I hope, are integrated into the Hive. Marker #urock, I can already see it in the #hive-Engine.

And now, I can't say that these coins are clear to me, lol, but why do I need it?

These coins have already brought me significant profits and these are my night bombers.

I suggest taking a look at this interesting postage stamp with a face value of 3,200,000 copies, the auction price of which I like.

Canceled postage stamp

Important!

  1. Please note that the cost of shipping postage stamps to other countries can be many times more expensive than the postage stamp itself, approximately $ 5.5.

  2. I see that it is not profitable to purchase one postage stamp if, suddenly, you need to replenish your collection. It is always more profitable to purchase the entire series, and, surplus, to change, or sell.

  3. If you decide to buy a postage stamp online, be careful. sometimes sellers use stock images. But this option is unacceptable. You need to see exactly the product that you are buying.

  4. If you are afraid that the postage stamp sellers will want to deceive you, you are doing the right thing, do not doubt it.

  5. To get started with this hobby, buy a good magnifying glass, tweezers with flat and thin edges and a stockbook for postage stamps, they will come in handy.

  6. When buying postage stamps, pay special attention to the back of the postage stamp. The adhesive layer must not be damaged.

  7. There is such an expression - How many people, so many opinions, this also applies to sellers of postage stamps. Each of them believes that his postage stamp is in perfect condition, but only you yourself can find the perfect postage stamp for yourself.

  8. Sometimes, a small, white scrap of paper with a round stamp on it and a number inscribed in the center circle can be a very valuable postage stamp from the days when postage stamps were not printed.

  9. The cost of a postage stamp is determined by supply and demand, but usually in catalogs you can see the estimated cost of a postage stamp in Pounds Sterling.

  10. In terms of quality, postage stamps can be divided into three groups: used postage stamps that were pasted on and removed from the envelope, canceled postage stamps that were canceled at the post office, by order and sent for sale, and clean, uncanceled postage stamps. As you can imagine, these three types of postage stamps, their conditions, greatly affect their value.

To be continued.
