1968 US 20c Airmail Postage Stamp - USA and Jet Airliner (Scott #C75)

A used 20-cent United States airmail postage stamp issued on November 22, 1968.

Designed by graphic artist John Larrecq, the stamp features a bold, minimalist late-1960s design with the letters "USA" formed by clean red and blue lines next to the black silhouette of a four-engine jet airliner (resembling a Boeing 707 or Douglas DC-8). The denomination "20ยข" and the text "UNITED STATES AIR MAIL" are printed in an open-face Gothic capital font. This specific stamp shows a partial wavy postal cancellation including the word "PEACE" from a "Peace on Earth" holiday postmark.
