A hundred Inverted Jenny stamps were printed in 1918, until someone noticed the error. But the mystery surrounding the Inverted Jenny remains: Who stole it and three other such stamps at a 1955 convention in Virginia? A rare 1918 U.S. postage stamp featuring an upside-down plane that was stolen six decades ago and ended up in Northern Ireland was returned to its American owner on Thursday. U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who was an avid stamp collector as a boy, helped set up the legal restitution process. On Thursday at the World Stamp Show, the young man from Northern Ireland who inherited America's most famous stamp from his grandfather watched as it was handed to the Bellefonte, Pennsylvania-based American Philatelic Research Library, which holds the rights to the four.
