This 2006 stamp of Bolivia commemorates the centenary of Brazilian Alberto Santos-Dumont's first successful heavier-than-air flight in his 14-bis biplane. From Wikipedia, "Alberto Santos-Dumont (1873-1932) was a Brazilian inventor and aviation pioneer; one of the very few people to have contributed significantly to the development of both lighter-than-air and heavier-than-air aircraft...Santos-Dumont finally succeeded in flying a heavier-than-air aircraft on 23 October 1906, piloting the 14-bis before a large crowd of witnesses on the grounds of Paris's Chateau de Bagatelle for a distance of 60 meters (197 ft)."  |

On April 10, 2003 Germany issued this semi-postal charity stamp (Mi. #2331) to benefit philately in the country. The stamp's theme is 75th anniversary of the first east-west North Atlantic flight. The flight was made by Hermann Koehl, Ehrenfried Guenther Freiherr von Huenefeld, and James C. Fitzmaurice on the 12th and 13th of April, 1928 in a Junkers Vu33 nicknamed Bremen. From flyingireland.com website, "The departure from Baldonnel (Ireland) was at 0538 GMT. After 36 1/2 hours the aircraft landed on frozen ice at Greely Island in Quebec...Blanc Sablon is the nearest point marked on most regional maps." The photograph (Wikipedia) shows the aircraft Bremen D-1167 after landing on Greely Island.   |
