327 x2 (VF), 301 x2 (VF, one damaged) [15 öre coil St. Birgitta and 5 öre coil Gustaf V definitive] on 25 March 1942 surface mail cover from to the U.S. With "KIRUNA * LBR *" (letter box) cancellation -- this post office is north of the Arctic Circle. At Stockholm the letter was stopped because surface mail service had been suspended due to the war. The only postal service available to the U.S. was sent on secret night flights from Sweden via Scotland. A return-to-sender label was applied in such a way that it could be removed; a violet handstamp endorsement has been added to the label "endast lufpost berfordras" (only airmail transportation [available]). I believe that I have previously had (in 30 years) only one such cover that received similar treatment -- the label had been removed by the sender, additional stamps had been added for airmail, and the letter resent. However, this is the only example I can recall ever having or seeing with the label still intact. An important cover for both WWII and airmail postal history collections.
