Vintage Northrop First Flight commemorative cover celebrating the U.S. Air Force Northrop X-21A Laminar Flow Control Aircraft. Postmarked April 18, 1963, at Edwards Air Force Base, California, and addressed to Courtlandt S. Gross, Chairman of the Board of Lockheed Aircraft Corporation in Burbank, California.


A wonderful piece of aerospace and aviation history connecting two major American aircraft manufacturers during the early jet age. Features the original 8¢ U.S. Air Mail stamp, illustrated X-21A aircraft cachet, and clean postal cancellation.


Condition is very good vintage condition with light age-related toning and minor handling wear. Please review all photos for details.


A great addition to any aviation, aerospace, Northrop, Lockheed, or first flight cover collection.
