"With Wings" -collection
Here are links to air mail postcards and covers. Collecting air mail targets is simply fascinating. Most of the items are mailed from Finland to other countries. In addition to those, I have a rather interesting collection of air mail items also from Switzerland and Estonia. I try to tell at least the basics of each target. Some are very common (and cheap to acquire) and some are not. I'm not listing items in any order of rarity or price.
