Description:

Did you know that the first federal air traffic facilities in the United States date back to August 20, 1920? On that day, the Post Office Department issued orders to establish the first air mail radio stations along the transcontinental air mail route. The 2,612-mile route from New York to San Francisco had 17 primary landing fields, and each would have its own air mail radio station. These stations were the forerunners of today’s flight service stations.
