Sunday Stamps F3 - USA, Germany, , Hungary

Benjamin Franklin appeared on the first stamp issued by the USA - he was postmaster general at the time. He signed the Declaration of Independence but never became President.  He did however become the first American minister to France.

USA - 20 October 1972
I guess Franklin knew about the flag with 13 stars - one for each of the original colonies at the time of independence - but he would have been pleased to see one with 50.

USA - 8 December 1973
Sightseeing in Germany may take you to a Flughafen

Frankfurt Airport - 14 January 1988
For a view of the city a plane in a Hungary series shows you the way.

Hungary - 17 October 1966
It's higher than 110 feet!
