The domestic airmail rate was eight cents per ounce from March 26, 1944 until October 1, 1946.

A cover sent airmail from Saint Louis to New Orleans in 1945.

The eight-cent rate applied to interisland airmail in Hawaii. This cover was flown from the island of Oahu to Kauai in June of 1944.

Well past the Prexie period, domestic airmail again became eight cents per ounce from January 7, 1963, to January 7, 1968. Even though the Statue of Liberty eight-cent stamp had been introduced in 1954 the eight-cent Prexie was produced into 1959, and one was still available four years later when this airmail letter was sent.
