Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: The Architects of the Air stamps do not celebrate war, rather the great partnerships between constructors and designers that created such unique aircraft. Each plane on the stamps was revolutionary in its own way and the Architects of the Air were the trailblazers for today's modern designs.

The Spitfire, Lancaster, Mosquito, Meteor and Hunter shown on the stamps represent different aspects of great aviation design styles and show how design has evolved from the propeller to the jet age.

The stamps are issued to mark the 50th anniversary of the death of Roy Chadwick, designer of the Lancaster.
