UXC3 followed the earlier 1958 UXC2 5¢ airmail card while retaining the Eagle in Flight design and adding the highly recognizable bicolored airmail border. The combination of the Artmaster jet-airliner artwork, Minneapolis first-day cancel and classic red-white-blue border makes this a particularly attractive example for an airmail, aviation, postal stationery or First Day Cover collection.
