Owner's Comments:
This set of stamps records the continuing evolution of manned flight. It is fascinating to see how far humanity has traveled in such a relatively short amount of time. My personal attraction to these U.S. Air Mail issues is partly because my dad served in the United States Air Force for thirty years. I took my first trans Atlantic air flight when I was six weeks old. I've since flown across the Atlantic Ocean eight other times and have flown across the Pacific Ocean six times. I've lost track of how many days/weeks I've been at 30,000 feet over the USA. Viewing our Earth from above can definitely be a profound consciousness opening experience.
