This new series on aviation and history has been designed to pay tribute to the planes that left the greatest marks on the history of aviation. From the Spirit of Saint Louis to the most modern planes such as the A380, all plane types and eras are featured.
The reverse, common to the series, features the profiles of two pilots, symbolising the different eras and types of use: civil and military.
