Description

The story of the USA Transcontinental Air Mail Service, the first of its kind on the planet, is certainly one of romanticism and danger. Through calm or storm, in light or dark, a contingent of courageous couriers relayed the public mail across three thousand miles in not up to a day and a half–faster than ever before. Regardless that the U.S. Air Mail Service started at the East Coast, one of the crucial frontier tales of the route through the Rocky Mountains were lost. The western leg of the airmail service from Chicago to San Francisco included the Mountain Division, headquartered in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The route through Wyoming, thought to be essentially the most treacherous, provided harrowing tales of the pilots who risked their lives. Authors Starley Talbott and Michael Kassel lionize these folk heroes, aviation legends and icons of western history.
