Arctic Air Mercy Flight Polar Bear Alaska Cinderella
This stamp commemorates the mercy flight that was to carry serum to counter a diptheria epidemic in Nome Alaska in 1925. Because of the danger, dog teams were ultimately used to bring the serum to Nome, but the stamps were printed anyway. The Polar Bear in the center is modeled after the 1925 Norwegian stamps that were issued to fund Roald Amundsen's North Pole Flight. Edited by ambrofos - 06 May 2010 at 15:13 |

Build a time machine, go back to 1925, catch diptheria and emigrate to Alaska. Easy
