| First flights and other aviation events sometimes rate a commemorative issue stamp or envelope. Some of these covers, as they are called, are issued by a proud government. Some are special marketing materials from the aircraft manufacturer. Usually there is wonderful artwork on the front of the envelope and often there is a descriptive letter inside.
Take at a look at our collection of commemorative envelopes in the Heritage section. |
