    There are two types of labels from Yukon Airways. The other label has the slash between Mail and Care in the middle, the one shown is closer to the bottom. Also, the second label has a different "a" in the word "Care". These are the first airmail labels created in Canada, so very new item.

    My friend here in Canada produced a book on Canadian Airmail labels and markings. If you are interested, you should go to the Canadian Aerophilatelic society webpage. http://www.aerophilately.ca/
