In 1934 the last airmail stamp in the 1931 Airmail design
was printed, this time in blue with TRANS-TASMAN AIR MAIL "FAITH IN
AUSTRALIA" over-printed on it.
This stamp was issued for one
month to commemorate C.T.P. Ulm's first official trans-Tasman airmail
flight from New Zealand to Australia. Only 83 thousand stamps were issued
but many were collected.
