Air Mail Service Gains In Efficiency
Washington reports the air mail service carried one and a quarter million pounds of mail totaling forty nine million letters between New York and San Francisco with no fatalities or major accidents. Trips completed rose nearly ten percent to 92.5 percent, and current transit time is three days. If night guidance landmarks were built, the route could cut to half that time, potentially matching Chicago to New York mail delivery in a day and a half. Congress faced criticisms for funding shortages that hinder route extensions. Officials say the service’s performance could push expansion despite critics.
