On July 19, 1997, the USPS issued a set of twenty stamps commemorating Classic American Aircraft. One of these was the P-51 Mustang, defender of the B17 on their important bombing raids in WWII and responsible for almost half of Germany's aircraft losses. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the Mustang stamp cancelled from the city of issue (Dayton, Ohio) on the first day of issue (captioned above.)
The cachet (artwork on the envelope) features a black & white photo of the Mustang. Collectible, historic, this is a great piece of aviation memorabilia.
Double matted in blue and white,, it's sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 frame. *** Certificate of Authenticity Included***
