This semi-postal air mail stamp issued for the Solidarité 1948 campaign depicts a twin-engine aircraft flying above the rugged peaks of the High Atlas Mountains. In the lower left corner, a small mountain village appears nestled in a valley, highlighting the remote and difficult terrain of Morocco's interior. The design symbolizes the role of aviation in connecting isolated regions with the rest of the country and the world. The stamp bears a denomination of 9 Francs + 16 Francs surtax, with the additional amount allocated to solidarity and social welfare programs.
