This 50 postage stamps from the Marshall Islands featuring the World's Greatest Aircraft.

The stamps were issued on August 12, 2004.

Illustrated by renowned aviation artists Jack Fellows and Steve Ferguson, the stamps depict 50 aircraft that have been pivotal in the history of powered flight.

Also among the 50 stamps are outstanding military aircraft from World Wars I and II: Britain's Avro Lancaster, Germany's Fokker D VII, Japan's A6M Zero, and America's P-51 Mustang.
