Rhodesia Philately: 1970 Second Definitive Issue

The astonishing development achieved in less than 100 years in what was virgin country is portrayed in a wide cross-section of activities ranging through the three themes of Land, Air and Water. The sweat and toil involved in this progress was necessarily supplemented with healthy recreation. This has not been overlooked in the new issue which includes coverage of sport, tourism and wild life.
