•   More publicized, and generally credited, was Earle Ovington, sworn in as "Airmail Pilot #1," who carried a US mail pouch from Long Island to Mineola, a distance of six miles, on Sep 23, 1911.
• The Airmail Takes Wing in an epic filled with stress, confusion, and painfully.
• Condensed from a narrative by C V Glines Airmail began long before the invention of the airplane, or even the balloon. It began with pigeon post used by armies many years before the birth of Christ to send messages long distances, but air mail as we regard it really began on May 15, 1918, when the world's first scheduled airmail route, between the nation's capital and New York, was inaugurated. ... Attempts to start airmail service came as early as 1912, when it seemed that airplanes might develop as a practical means of transportation. ... However, WW1 caused improvements in aircraft to be made rapidly, and in fiscal year 1918, Congress appropriated $100,000 for development of an experimental airmail route between Washington and New York. ... Maj Reuben H Fleet, Col Henry H "Hap" Arnold's executive officer in charge of planning instruction, was concerned about training pilots at 34 fields in the US—setting up an experimental airmail service was far from his mind. ... On May 6, he was told by Secretary of War Newton D Baker that Arnold had recommended him for the job of getting the airmail route going by May 15. ... Postmaster General Albert S Burleson had already issued a press release announcing that an airmail route scheduled for daily flights five days a week between Washington, Philadelphia, and New York would be inaugurated on May 15, and he was not going to back down. ... He had become not only the first official, scheduled-airmail pilot to depart with mail from Washington but, unhappily, had also become the first airmail pilot to get lost and the first to have an accident. ... The first day of the airmail service was termed a complete success by Post Office officials, although Fleet, Lipsner, and a few other government personnel felt differently. ... The airmail pilot's greatest threat—then, as always—was weather. ... " On June 3, the first airmail flight was scheduled between New York and Boston on a single round-trip basis.
