U.S. Parcel Post stamps of 1912-13

 * ... that The 20-cent U.S. Parcel Post stamp of 1912 had the distinction for being the first stamp in history to depict an airplane, six years before the U.S. Post Office issued an airmail stamp?
 * No QPQ necessary, 5th DYK nomination, though I have reviewed three other DYK nominations before.

 * Comment: Not making a review, but the hook needs formatting U|Gwillhickers. It must link to the article in bold (I added two other internal links). Regards, Iselilja (talk) 22:19, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Opps -- been a while since I've done this. Thanks. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 00:39, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Conditional - Article is new enough, long enough, and is within policy. Hook (supported by reliable references) needs to be shortened (unless I am mistaken) .--Godot13 (talk) 03:30, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Suggested ALT - that The 20-cent U.S. Parcel Post stamp of 1912 was the first postage stamp in history to depict an airplane, six years before airmail stamps were issued? - Godot13 (talk) 04:01, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Godot13, I've reworded and shortened the hook. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 04:11, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
