1928 Canada 5¢ Airmail – First Official Airmail Stamp
Canada’s first airmail stamp, issued in 1928, marked the beginning of regular government airmail service. The elegant brown design depicts two allegorical figures of flight stretching across the globe, with a monoplane soaring overhead — symbolizing aviation’s new role in connecting the world.
This 5¢ stamp prepaid the airmail surcharge on letters carried by air, and was used on pioneering routes across Canada. Its issue coincided with a period of rapid aviation growth and remains one of the most historically significant Canadian stamps of the 20th century.
As the very first entry in Canada’s proud airmail series, the 1928 5¢ Airmail is a cornerstone for both airmail and Canadian collections. Attractive, affordable, and historically important, it’s a stamp no collector should overlook.
