These instructed postal clerks and air carriers to transport a letter by air only up to a specified airport or city; beyond that point, the mail would revert to surface transport (rail or ship). Ian McQueen, a British philatelist, produced the first comprehensive taxonomy of these markings, filling a gap in airmail literature.
