A passion for flight informs this painting of America’s most famous World War I training plane; the art director and the artist are both avid recreational pilots. But the stamp also benefited from the expertise of a Virginia man who reconstructs and restores vintage aircraft: His "Jenny" is shown here flying over the Virginia countryside.
