The stamp in question is the Chile # 112, A43, the yellow and black 10p showing Errazuriz, overprinted for airmail use. Scott shows that stamp as being overprinted with "Correo Aereo" in the picture above the listing (I believe it is C8), but the description gives the inscription as "Chile Correos". The same inscription, (Chile Correos"), is also listed for the next stamps, C9 to C14, and that also shows a # 112, C14. I believe that the first description given in the catalog may be wrong, a misprint, but would certainly appreciate any/all input on this.

Jerry... I hope this will help to clarify. The difference is in the terms "Inscription" and "Overprint". The base stamp is Inscribed "Chile Correos" and the Overprint is Correo Aereo". Here is one of the base stamps:

The difference between the 1928-1929 airmails and the 1928-1932 airmails is not the inscription, but rather the presence of a watermark in the second set. If the stamp pictured is C8, it should have a blue overprint (the one pictured looks black to me).
