Nation's air mail system expands with vast network
By July 1929 the United States will boast 12590 miles of lighted airways and 21000 miles of established air routes. Air mail pilots are expected to fly about 13 million miles, with mail planes averaging 35000 tiles daily and serving 108 cities. Only ten states lack daily air mail service. Daily operations move around nine tons of letters. About 30 transport and taxi lines project 20 to 30 million miles in the year. There are 1660 improved or semi improved airports worth roughly 100 million dollars, with 50 million more to be spent by 1100 airports on land, equipment and supplies. The map illustrates the nation’s air ways.
