Air 6 mail stamp

A classic!

The Air Mail 6¢ stamp, also known as the " Curtiss JN-4 "Higgins" Jenny" stamp, was issued by the United States Postal Service (USPS) in 1918. It was the first airmail stamp in the United States and was used to pay the postage for airmail letters and packages.

The stamp features a colorful illustration of a Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny" biplane, a popular training aircraft used during World War I. The plane is depicted in flight, with a mailbag suspended beneath it.

The Air Mail 6¢ stamp was a significant innovation in postal history, as it marked the beginning of airmail service in the United States. Prior to its introduction, mail was transported primarily by rail and sea. The airmail service was established to provide faster and more efficient mail delivery, particularly for time-sensitive communications.

The Air Mail 6¢ stamp is still highly collectible today, and its value can vary depending on its condition, rarity, and demand.
