Claude

This cover features no traditional cachet artwork on the left side; instead, the cachet text and imagery are printed in the center-right area of the envelope. The printed text reads 'WORLD AT WAR / America Strikes Back / Doolittle's Raid on Tokyo' accompanied by two black ink illustrations of B-25 Mitchell bombers in profile view. The stamp is the 29-cent USA flag stamp showing waving American and additional flags in red, white, and blue. The postmark is a circular hand stamp from Lincopex Station, Albany, OR 97321, dated May 3, 1992.

Mistral

The cachet features black text and illustrations of two B-25 Mitchell bombers in flight, commemorating the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo during World War II. The stamp is a 29-cent USA flag definitive (Scott #2522), and the postmark is a circular machine cancellation from Lincopex Station in Albany, Oregon, dated May 3, 1992. The text 'WORLD AT WAR / America Strikes Back / Doolittle's Raid on Tokyo' is prominently displayed in bold, black lettering. The cover appears to be in excellent condition with no visible damage.

(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
