PILOT STORIES: The List
 Over
200 pilots flew mail as employees of the Post Office Department's
Air Mail Service. When hired, all agreed to the service's
rules, including a demand, unique among aviators, that the schedule was paramount. Pilots were expected
to keep the mail moving at all costs.
Thirty-five pilots gave their lives flying America's
airmail in the early years of the service. Click on a name
