Corrections

Provisionals 1919

Unauthorized Provisionals

• Page 7: The 10 øre bisect is described as "green" when it should be "red"

Provisionals 1940-41

• Page 10: The illustration of the 20/1 øre provisional first printing stamp is actually from the second printing. Although the difference is subtle enough that readers probably won't notice it, this illustration should be replaced in the next edition.

Independent Postal Administration

• Page 25: The illustration of #8 is incorrect. It should be a picture of the 120 øre map stamp rather than a duplicate image of the 200 øre stamp.

Postal History: World War II

• Page 183: The occupation started on Apr. 13 (not Apr. 12) as that is when the initial 200 troops set foot on the islands. The two destroyers arrived on the 12th and there were some high level meetings on the 12th but the occupation really doesn't start until the next day.
• Page 186: The GF13 catalog title is incorrect -- it covered 1940-1945 not 1940-1941 as printed.
