The Airmail Stamp Museum

Interesting Airmail Stamps and Their Symbols

Welcome!

To the Main Airmail Stamp Exhibit Hall

Introduction

The symbols used in the design of postage stamps has always interested me. I find Air Mail stamps especially interesting with their symbols of flight - aviation is also an interest of mine.

The Air Mail images can speak powerfully for themselves. Nevertheless, we expect to have a page devoted to discussing the topic of Air Mail symbols and design shortly.

Each page I offer below is a kind of visual gallery with a certain theme. I hope you enjoy the images.
