Germany has issued many nice stamps on Aviation. Today I have received one among them from my friend Miss. Malin, Germany. The stamp she used was issued on October 9, 2008 for commemorating 100 years of Engine powered Flight. It features German Aviation Pioneer Hans Grade in his self constructed Tri-plane. It is interesting to know that Grade's monoplane carried Germany's first Air Mail. Nice addition to my "Flights of Fancy" collection. Looks like Malin's Dad is a stamp collector as well; Thanks to Malin and her Dad.
