Issued in 1938, this U.S. Airmail 6¢ stamp (Scott C23) features a striking design of a red eagle in flight carrying olive branches, symbolizing peace. The surrounding frame in deep blue carries the bold inscription AIR MAIL with a shield emblem, while the denomination “6¢” is displayed in the corners. This issue was widely used during the pre-WWII period, reflecting the growing importance of air mail service in America. The example shown carries a Red Cross Roll Call cancellation, linking it to the humanitarian fundraising campaigns of the era, making it of special thematic interest to Red Cross and health collectors.
