Item description:

See scan – very good condition. This is a very scarce Bulgarian cover / postcard mailed from the 1st Bulgarian Airplane Detachment / Unit during WWI. As all collectors from the aerophilately know, items from this period are extremely scarce due to the fact that it is the era of the pioneer flight and pilot officers were an extremely low number of enthusiasts. Bulgaria and Bulgarian Royal aviation has a strong history and is actually the first country in the world that used a bomb from the air during the Balkan Wars of 1912 – 1913. During WWI Bulgaria was an Imperial German ally and there were also lots of German officers involved as well as lots of German airplanes and other aviation equipment. Mostly Bulgaria used its WWI aviation for defense of the Capital of Sofia, but also in the Macedonia occupation front, the occupation of Romania and Greece, as well as protecting the Black Sea coast. This was done together with the 2 Balloon units attached to 2nd and 3rd Bulgarian Army. The postal history philatelic item listed is a card from the 1st Airplane Aviation Unit mailed on 9th of September 1916 from the field runway in Levunovo, which was part of the Macedonian occupied territories during that time. There is no military cachet applied, since it was a real combat field usage, but there is a hand written censor confirmation stating the place it was mailed from. Extremely scarce aerophilately item. True gem for any collection.
