1918 Italy Propaganda WW I Poster Stamp Captain O. Salomone Returning From Ljubljana Aircraft Ca. 478 “Roman Eagle” MNH Gum CreaseThis Italian Poster Stamp Was Issued In 1918 To Commemorate A Notable Military Flight By Capitano O. Salomone Aboard The Aircraft Designated Ca. 478, Nicknamed “Aquila Romana” (Roman Eagle), During The Final Year Of World War I. The Stamp Celebrates The Return Of The Aircraft From A Mission Over The City Of Lubiana (Ljubljana), Then Part Of Austria-Hungary, Underscoring Italy’s Expanding Aerial Capabilities And Propagandistic Use Of Air Power As A Symbol Of National Prowess. The Stamp Depicts A Formation Of Italian Biplanes Flying Over A Terrain, With The Largest Central Aircraft Identified As Ca. 478. This Was A Caproni Heavy Bomber—Most Likely A Caproni Ca.3 Variant—Famous For Its Triple Tail, Twin-Boom Design, And Role In Strategic Bombing Missions Across The Alps And The Balkans. The Design Features A Monochrome Sepia Color Palette, With Distinct Roundel Markings On The Wings Indicating Italian Military Affiliation. In The Upper Right Corner, A Portrait Medallion Shows Capitano O. Salomone In Uniform, Flanked By A Smaller scout plane overhead. The Roman Numerals "1918" Appear Above The Central Aircraft, Anchoring The Scene Historically In The Closing Months Of The First World War. The Caption Below Reads: “L’apparecchio Ca. 478 ‘Aquila Romana,’ Di Ritorno Da Lubiana,” Which Translates As “The Aircraft Ca. 478 ‘Roman Eagle,’ Returning From Ljubljana.” The Use Of The Term “Aquila Romana” Echoes Classical Imperial Imagery And Emboldens The Italian Campaign In The Alpine Theater With Nationalist Symbolism. This Poster Stamp Was Almost Certainly Produced By A Wartime Patriotic Committee Or Air Force Propaganda Office To Promote Italy’s Technological Modernity And Individual Heroism. Its Function Would Have Been Both Commemorative And Morale-Boosting, Intended For Circulation With Official Mail Or Civilian Propaganda. A Central Vertical Press Line Is Visible But No Tears Or Heavy Damage Are Present. It Is A Rare And Striking Example Of Italian WWI Aviation Commemoration In Label Form. Country Of Origin: Italy Visible Text (Rewritten In Sentence Form): Italian: 1918. Capitano O. Salomone. L’apparecchio Ca. 478 “Aquila Romana,” Di Ritorno Da Lubiana — English Translation: 1918. Captain O. Salomone.
