In 1945 (Showa 20), the defeat of the Pacific War became decisive in Japan, and Manchuria was on the verge of its destruction. At that time, the Manchurian government was preparing to issue stamps in two languages (Japanese and Manchu) with a large donation to purchase the aircraft. However, the war ended before its issuance, and these stamps were not issued. Reference: Japan Philatelic Society Foundation, "Japan Stamp Specialized Catalog, Japan-Related Areas 2012"
