24c Carmine Rose & Blue, 1918 Air Post (C3). Position 21 with left selvage, Mint N.H., rich colors, vignette shifted strongly to bottom with wheels just short of touching "CENTS", Fine, Sanabria handstamp guarantee with position number 21 in pencil, this is from the Sanabria sheet, at the time it was thought that in the upper rows of the sheet the shift was strong enough to qualify for the "grounded plane" variety--today's standard requires that the wheels need to touch or go into "CENTS"--a "low flying" or "nearly grounded" variety nonetheless
