Aviation and history - transall
For its second year, the Aviation and History series honours two aircraft that have worked in the field of transport and parachuting. After the Dakota C47, the Transall.
The name of the Transall is a contraction of Transport and Allianz. It symbolizes the Franco-German collaboration that developed this transport plane in 1963. The sturdy aircraft, used by many countries, will celebrate its 55th anniversary in 2018.
The reverse, common to the series, features the profiles of two pilots, symbolising the different eras and types of use: civil and military. In the sky are several aircrafts, also representing the different eras and uses, in a tribute to the history of aviation. The face value is inscribed on the bottom left of the reverse side, as is the symbol "RF".
