It didn't scan very well - doesn't look that grainy in-the-flesh.
This is the only 'stamp show cinderella' I have, but I got it because it depicts the (in)famous Boeing 377 Stratocruiser, developed from the C97 Stratofreighter, and I'm a sucker for airplanes on stamps.
It's operational career was marred by 5 incidents, 2 of those resulting in fatalities resulting from runaway propellers. It's operational career was relatively short: 1947-1954. The last one was delivered to BOAC...in 1950, coinciding with the year of the 2nd ADSA.
There's a nice example of the C97 in the outdoors display at the Pima Air Museum, in Tuscon...

re: Stamp Show Cinderellas
Stamp show cinderellas such as you show in the first scan
can spice up any collection from/of their country of origin.
I have a few that both advertized and commemorated a
London show in 1940 just before the blitz made life
almost unbearable..

Perhaps it would be helpful to add some instructions to the ‘New User Information’ page on searching the forum? Having multiple threads for the same topic can become problematic so encouraging folks to use the search function before starting new threads seems like a good idea.
And even for existing, experienced members; it might be worthwhile to add a reminder to the top of the ‘starting a new thread ‘ page/form with a link to the search page. I know that I can often use this reminder on some days!
