Item Description

After agreeing on the joint stamp issue with the
Germans, the U.S. Post Office issued the stamp  _(SC. USA #C18)_ on October 2,
1933, for use on mail carried by the Graf Zeppelin on its trip through
the United States, and then on its return flight to Germany.

The
new stamp had the same dimensions and printing characteristics as the
previous three zeppelin stamps issued in 1930. The new 50 Cent stamp
depicted the GRAF ZEPPELIN OVER THE OCEAN, with the Federal Building, in
Chicago, on the left, and the airship's HANGAR, IN FRIEDRICHSHAVEN ON THE RIGHT.
