Model Air Routes Cover Many Ways in Early Federal Airways
Since April 1921 the system over four thousand miles of routes operates under Lt. L. J. Maitland at Wright Field. Airway trips take two days, with ships departing from fields such as Bolling and Mitchel. Passengers describe a smooth ascent from St Louis and a ground return to Dayton, with an average speed of 115 mph and altitude around 2,000 feet. Schedule shifts limit weekly flights to monthly starts, aiming to deploy Douglas Transports carrying seven passengers when ready.
