CAM-2 Lindbergh First Flight Cover

United States · 1926 · 10¢

A green 10-cent U.S. postage stamp, likely an early airmail issue, is affixed to a commercial corner cover. The stamp features 'U.S. POSTAGE' and '10', with an indistinct central design typical of early 20th-century engraved stamps.

This cover marks the inaugural flight of the Contract Air Mail (CAM-2) route between Chicago and St. Louis on April 15, 1926, piloted by Charles A. Lindbergh. It signifies a crucial step in the development of commercial airmail service in the United States, predating Lindbergh's famous transatlantic flight.
