Description:
JAPANESE OCCUPATION: c.1944 Japanese Navy (anchor at lower-left & photo of battleships within) airmail lettersheet to Japan. Rare. [Better quality than the similar item illustrated by Bob Stein in the SAS/Oceania "Informer" of July 2009. The airfield was built by the Japanese - and bombed by the Americans - but very few airmail items are recorded. The sender's address has been translated as U68 U66 Yokosuka Postal Station = Nauru]
