Description
A remarkable and highly collectible limited edition series of sixteen 1986 First Day Covers issued to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Supermarine Spitfire. Each cover in this set is personally signed by pilots, engineers, and individuals directly connected to the Spitfire’s history — making this far more than a standard commemorative issue. Each cover issued was a limited edition of 125.
The artwork and cachets highlight key moments in the Spitfire story, while the signatures add genuine historical weight. These covers were produced to mark half a century since the Spitfire first took to the skies in 1936, and signed examples are increasingly sought after by aviation collectors.
