This Art Craft First Day Cover features the 11¢ Charles Lindbergh airmail stamp, postmarked on its first day of issue in Williamsburg, PA on May 6, 1971. The cachet depicts Lindbergh in his flight gear alongside his famous Spirit of St. Louis monoplane.
Charles Lindbergh's solo nonstop flight from New York to Paris on May 20-21, 1927, captured the world's imagination and proved the viability of long-distance air travel. The achievement earned him the Medal of Honor and helped accelerate commercial aviation in the decades that followed.
The cover's design highlights the 1927 transatlantic crossing with period-appropriate artwork and the distinctive Art Craft Series of 1971 branding in the lower left corner.
A strong addition for collectors of aviation topicals, Lindbergh memorabilia, or U.S. airmail postal history, this cover displays fresh colors and a clear first-day cancel.
