Issued in 1918, this striking 6-cent orange stamp from the United States features the iconic “Winged Globe” design — a powerful emblem of early aviation and progress in air mail service. The central globe inscribed “U.S. Air Mail” is flanked by expansive wings, symbolizing speed and the dawn of transcontinental flight. Serving as part of the first series of U.S. airmail stamps, this issue marked the beginning of a new postal era. Collectors prize it for its clean engraving, historical value, and association with America’s pioneering air routes.
