    1932/1937, Wilson Airways, study of air mail routes, comprising ten covers mounted and described on exhibition pages, noted two scarce examples of official OHMS covers originating from "Mafia Island", a location not part of the costal service routes, however Wilson Airways  made ad-hoc 'special' flights, both relate to medical services and are marked "Confidential", other mail includes from Tanganyika, Kenya, Zanzibar and Uganda, destinations within Africa as well as UK and France, also two covers with straightline cachet "Local Air Fee Paid" in violet, and two registered covers one from Zanzibar to Paris the other Uganda to Zanzibar, good range of frankings and values, some flaws to be expected, nice selection of usages, a fine study.
