Special insert (philatelic notice) of the above cover.

It seems that the year 1944 was initially wrongly written and had to be corrected.

ICAO was established by the Chicago Convention signed on 7 December 1944 and came formally into existence on 4 April 1947. In October of the same year, ICAO became a Specialized Agency of the United Nations.

 

Note that, on the above philatelic notice:

  1. The first sentence should be more correctly written as follows: “The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a Specialized Agency of the United Nations, was established in 1944”;
  2. On the last line of the first paragraph, the text should be more correctly written as follows:  "there are now 183 member countries in this Organization".
