UNITED NATIONS POSTAL AUTHORITY in 2003 issued these first day cover stamps marking the Centenary of the First Manned Flight. Depicted on the envelope is Orville Wright on 17 December 1903 when the aircraft piloted by his brother Wilbur Wright lifted off the launch track. Two stamps with wooden propellers (32 cent and 70 cent denomination) give the effect of rotation.
