Some countries found that the added expense of producing new stamps for airmail letters and parcels could be cured by overprinting images of airplanes on existing postage stamps. The three-line overprint states, “Esperimento Posta Aerea/Maggio 1917/Torino-Roma l Roma-Torino” (Experimental Airmail/May 1917/Torino-Rome l Rome-Torino).Ī year later, the United States issued the famous 24¢ airmail stamp depicting a Curtiss Jenny JN-4H biplane (Scott C3), and other airpost stamps worldwide also portrayed aircraft carrying mail. Italy, in 1917, became the first to issue an airmail stamp: an overprinted 25-centesimo Victor Emmanuel special delivery stamp. When airmail became more commonplace, countries began issuing stamps to be used specifically for letters that would be carried on airplanes.
