French Equatorial Africa consists of the following four territories: Gabon, Middle Congo, Oubangi-Chari and Tchad. In 1936 stamps of Gabon and Middle Congo were overprinted 'AFRIQUE EQUATORIALE FRANCAISE'. For stamps of Gabon, overprinted 'Afrique Equatoriale Francaise' (1924), click here. Previous issues with overprint 'AFRIQUE EQUATORIALE FRANCAISE' were actually only valid in the indiviual colonies (and are listed there).
