Dadda GG Stamp Stories 2: The First Official Airmail Flight, Allahabad to Naini, 18th February 1911

A colourfully illustrated, rhyming, historical tale when Lucy Lunasha, from India, visits her friend Asher (The Great-Grandson of stamp-collector Dadda GG) in Aberdeen, Scotland. She has brought with her a wonderful stamp, dated 1961, from her home town of Allahabad. It depicts the Golden Jubilee of the First Official Airmail Flight which took place on the 18th of February 1911. Lucy’s visit coincides with the 110th anniversary of this event and by using the Mailing Magic of the Sorting Stick, Dadda GG ‘Postal Pops’ them back in time to that day to see the historically epic events that surround it. Tico, the hound, inadvertently gets ‘caught up’ in the action and mayhem ensues!

At the end of the story, a brief written history of the First Official Airmail Flight is included, along with an activity sheet to draw and colour your very own stamp.
