MARRUECOS PROTECTORADO ESPAÑOL (Morocco Spanish Protectorate) issued in 1942 the Cabo Juby airmail postage stamp. The stamps featured an airplane flying over a minaret in Cabo Juby. Face value was 10 centimos. The stamp was printed by Rieusset, S.A. in Tangier.
Another stamp in the series depicted a landscape with a Savoia-Marchetti SM.81 aircraft flying overhead. The scene captured a rural area with figures and pack animals, characteristic of the local landscape at the time. The stamp was printed by Rieusset S.A. - Heralmi, as noted at the bottom of the design. Cape Juby was a Spanish possession located on the coast of present-day southern Morocco. During the Spanish protectorate era (1912–1956), various stamps were issued for use in the territory, often as overprints on Spanish or Moroccan issues, or as unique designs like this airmail series. This specific 1942 series was part of a larger set of landscapes with aircraft.
