Sweden: ABA airmail labels

Here is an airmail label issued by ABA (Aktiebolaget Aerotransport) airlines.

AB Aerotransport (ABA) was a Swedish airline, that is today part of the SAS Group.

ABA was established in 1924 under the name Aktiebolaget Aerotransport by Carl and Adrian Florman. The first flight was on 2 June 1924 between Stockholm and Helsinki with a Junkers F.13 aircraft. The aircraft, registered as S-AAAC and later as SE-AAC, is now on display at the National Museum of Science and Technology in Stockholm. In 1925 the company started a route between Stockholm and Berlin in co-operation with Lufthansa and a mail route between Stockholm - Malmö - Amsterdam - London.(Wikipedia)

Sweden: Helsinki-Stockholm flight airmail label

I'm not sure but i think this label is to commemorate 10th anniversary of the first airmail flight between
Helsinki-Stockholm. I found some information on that.

The Helsinki-Stockholm flights opened on June 2, 1924. Judging from a
circular by the Post and Telegraph Administration, however, the first mail flight
did not happen until June 28. The mail flights to Sweden continued every
weekday until August 26, in co-operation with the newly founded Swedish
airline company, A/B Aerotransport. (Eino Fjällström, “Lentopostin alkuvaiheet Suomessa” (The beginning of airmail in Finland))
.

Year: 1934, Gummed. Günter Mair's catalogue no: - SWE-C-5, imperforated, dark blue/yellow, 4****

Sweden: Full sheet of first flight labels.

Here is a very nice and attractive item from Sweden. It's full sheet of 20 airmail labels issued in 1944. These labels were used for the first postal flights between Swedish cities. All 20 labels are different. Also it's not listed in
Günter Mair's catalogue. All labels has full gum on them. I've never seen the labels like these. It could be a quite rare item.

Year: 1944 approx, gummed.
