This Fleetwood First Day Cover features the 1975 10¢ Apollo Soyuz Space Test Project stamp, postmarked on the official first day of issue, July 15, 1975, at Kennedy Space Center, Florida.
The Apollo-Soyuz Test Project marked the first joint space mission between the United States and the Soviet Union, symbolizing a thaw in Cold War tensions and international cooperation in space exploration during the détente era of the mid-1970s.
The bilingual English-Russian cachet artwork depicts the historic docking of the American Apollo and Soviet Soyuz spacecraft, with the phrase “A Milestone in Mankind’s Peaceful Quest of the Heavens” and the mission emblem prominently displayed.
A fine addition to any space exploration or Cold War topical collection, this cover remains in excellent condition with sharp postmark detail and vibrant Fleetwood cachet graphics.
