Postage Through the Years

The U.S. Postal Service has long saluted the history of invention
and technology with stamps celebrating great achievements in the
field. At top left, the first U.S. airmail stamp from 1918 pictures a
Curtiss Jenny biplane. A 1929 issue, at top right, commemorates
the fiftieth anniversary of Thomas Edison’s incandescent bulb. At
bottom, an airmail issue salutes Charles Lindbergh’s triumphant
1927 transatlantic solo flight.
