    Complete set of 100+ Smithsonian Institution, National Air & Space Museum Milestones of Flight Covers 1972-10-14 #1 to 100 VF-ADD & UA Cachet maker: Smithsonian - National Air & Space Museum The Milestones of Flight First Day Cover Series consisted of a subscription system such as is used for the issue of new stamps.
    There were 100 covers in the series. Each issue had a printed cachet with an artists's rendition of a great moment in the history of flight, such as Lindberg's flight, the first jet flight, the first man in space, and the like. Most cachets were in black although several had colorful cachets. The special art work appearing on the envelopes, contained a history of the event, and an appropriate stamp was chosen. The covers were then cancelled at the scene of the original event and mailed to subscribers. For example, Milestone #1 honored the 25th anniversary of supersonic flight. The covers were flown at supersonic speed to Edwards Air Force Base, site of the original flight, cancelled at the base post office, and distributed. Most of the earlier covers were addressed and from about # 3 on- had a Milestones of Flight address label.
