The US Postal Service unveiled renderings of the new Air Force One and Marine One stamps at the Andrews AFB, Md., joint service open house, which began on May 18. Aviation artist William S. Philips created the artwork for both stamps, which go on sale June 13. The Air Force One stamp will serve as the $4.60 priority mail stamp; Marine One appears on the $16.25 Express Mail stamp. The postal service announced the new stamps earlier this year, when it laid out its new pricing structure.
