airmail stamps
Overseas letter fees
Airmail stamps are postage stamps specifically designated for mail transported by aircraft.
Before standard postal rates included air service, separate stamps covered the premium for faster aerial delivery.
Today they're largely obsolete in countries where airmail is the default international shipping method, though they remain collectible: My grandfather's collection includes early airmail stamps from the 1920s.
