An added entry to the 1997 Postal Service schedule will be a stamp saluting the 50th anniversary of the Air Force as a separate military service. It will be released Sept. 18, the anniversary date.
The new 32-cent stamp will feature the Air Force's Thunderbird jets flying in a classic diamond formation. In the lower left corner will be the inscription "U.S. Department of the Air Force 1947-1997."- Syd Kronish
