First Aero Mail Service Marks New Mail Era
The first regular aero mail service in the world began May 15, 1918, by the United States government between New York and Washington. The actual flying time was three hours and twenty minutes with a six minute relay stop at Philadelphia. At that period the fastest railroad trip took five hours, and airship time has since been cut to two hours and thirty minutes.
