1993 Air Race Classic
Amelia Earhart contemporary covers to new commemorations

various other pilots

If you're in to aviation history as told on stamps and first day covers, please check out my virtual museum!

There's also a few entries in all aviation - the Smithsonian Milestones of Flight series, for example.
