On my shelf I have a daily journal and a binder full of stamps as well as a variety of books and other notebooks. The stamps in this binder are ones that I gathered over 50 years ago and then ongoing over those same years. I pulled some from old letters and in some cases kept the letters. I remember back along the way sometime hearing about this "upside down airplane misprinted stamp".

Well I finally found it. On the other had anyone one reading this has also found what I found and that is a copy of this famous misprint. Not that this has anything to do with stamps, or airplanes or finding misprints but I recall some advice and this quest reminds me of it:
if you want to succeed
don't follow in the footprints of those that were successful
but instead to seek what they sought...........................
Good thing I have not really been searching for this upside down airplane stamp for 50 years since I really didn't find it.

The book full of stamps reminds me of a lot of things when I look through it. About 38 years ago we lived in Millbrae, California. I recall that I could walk home from work for lunch. A favorite lunch was to stop by the Safeway store and buy some fresh hot French Bread and bring it home for lunch. Seems like a Coke often was part of this process. I few times I would stop by the post office and check a PO box I had and often I would buy a page of stamps. They are more interesting today than then.
