    William Knox Martin-First Experimental Flight from Barranquilla to Puerto Colombia. The 1917 current 2 centavos carmine-rose was overprinted in 10 definable types horizontally, the sheet being cut into strips prior to sale, thus vertical multiples and blocks cannot exist. Eugenio Gebauer and Jairo Londoño de Tamayo believed there to be 200 examples printed, D. Hugo Goeggel & Carlos Valenzuela project a total of 300 examples printed. There were 160 letters carried on the First Flight on June 18, 1919, the mail being dropped at Puerto Colombia and the plane returning to Barranquilla without landing. Either mint or used, these stamps represent some of the great rarities of Airmail philately.
    2 c. carmine-rose, position 5, mint example showing the variety: "arabic 1" in "18-19" at base of overprint, a fine example with some light ageing, showing further breaks in several of the overprint's lettering; large part original gum. A rare stamp Gi 379a = £ 9'500/Mi 264/I = EUR 8'500/Scott = $ 7'250.
