Issued by Canada in 1969, this 15-cent commemorative stamp celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first non-stop transatlantic flight in 1919. The design features the Vickers Vimy biplane flown by British aviators John Alcock and Arthur Brown from Newfoundland to Ireland, marking a major milestone in aviation history. A stylized map of the North Atlantic shows the flight path between North America and Europe. This issue highlights Canada’s role in the history of global air travel and remains a key piece for collectors of aviation-themed stamps.
