Vietnam War - Postal History Collection. Interesting array of covers on old collector pages of postal history and leaflets relating the Vietnam War. A total of 112 covers and 27 (non philatelic) drop propaganda leaflets. The leaflets were often dropped by US aircraft into Vietnamese villages to persuade them to support the war against the Viet Cong. Many of the covers have a Canadian connection to them (as this collection was formed in Canada), with many being addressed to the ICCS (International Control Commission) which Canadians served on as part of a peace-keeping mission. The covers are about 2/3 philatelic in nature and 1/3 commercial which is actually a much higher percentage of commercial mail than normally seen.
