FRENCH WEST AFRICA (Afrique Occidental Francaise Senegal) from 1935 until 1943 (?) issued eleven air mail stamps with different colours and values. There were two designs: a single-winged plane over a coastal landscape, and a biplane flying over a camel Caravan. The printers were Institut de Gravure and d'Impression de Papiers-Valeurs, Paris, using a recess printing method.
There was also a five stamp "Common Design Type" issued in 1940 for the French West Africa countries that also used the "Plane over Coastal Area" design, but with a white rather than a dark background for the country script tablet.
