Sometimes it is possible to identify the specific aircraft depicted on a stamp. This section has a list of such identified aircraft, alongwith details such as its registration no, year of manufacture, construction reference, any notable incident, its last known status, etc. Also included are photos of the actual aircraft, and links to external sites from where the info was obtained.
Some aircraft are already well-known or famous in their own right, for instance the Wright Flyer. These have a page of their own, with stamps depicting them listed, plus some history and photographs of the actual aircraft.
For the rest, pick the country and browse through the stamps listed. Click on any of them to see their identifiers & additional information.
