This stamp was issued in conjunction with the International Civil Aeronautics Conference held at Washington, D.C. The International Civil Aeronautics Conference recognized the coming importance of airplane transportation to the world. Pictured on the stamp is a rotary engine monoplane similar to Charles Lindberghs Spirit of St. Louis, who was honored at the conference. Because the Civil Aeronautics stamps pictured airplanes, postmasters often confused them for airmail stamps, marking countless letters “postage due.
