This ArtCraft first day cover features the 1978 31¢ U.S. airmail stamp honoring Orville and Wilbur Wright as Aviation Pioneers. The cover is postmarked Dayton, Ohio on September 23, 1978, the official first day of issue.
The stamp commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Wright brothers’ historic powered flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903. Their achievement transformed transportation and ushered in the age of aviation, making Dayton—site of their early experiments and home—a fitting first-day city.
The striking black-and-white cachet shows the brothers alongside a modern jet silhouette and the 1903 Flyer, with the inscription “75th Anniversary of Powered Flight 1903–1978.” The stamp itself depicts the Wrights with their aircraft in a colorful illustration.
A strong addition for aviation topical collectors or anyone building a Wright brothers or powered-flight collection, this cover displays excellent condition with a crisp cancel and attractive cachet design.
