air express is
starting its 17th year of opera
tion in the
States. It was on
September 1. 1927, that the first
regularly-scheduled air express ser
vice was begun. At some 26 cities
from coast to coast, airline and ex
press officials witnessed the in
auguration of an air cargo ser
vice destined to grow from 17,000
shipments in 1928 to more than
1.405.000 shipments last year.
Many of the first mail and ex
press ships were single engined,
open cockpit biplanes. Packages
were stowed wherever there was
room. Often tbe pilot sat on the
cargo. Coast-to-coast shipments re
quired 36 hours and 14>-refuellng
«tops compared with present day
-HAPPY
16 hour, overnight transcontinental
flights. A 25-pound package from
New York to the West Coast coat
$65 in 1927; today the rate is $21
And for $1 00 a 25-pound package
can be air-expressed up to 150 miles
Recent rate reductions, effective
July 15th. are Indicative of how
growing air express volume bene
tits the shipper.
Post war air cargo rates, it la
confidently believed, will be even
lower.
Pioneering in the development of
air traffic aa early as 1919. the
Railway Express Agency haa per
formed the ground aervlcea of pick
up and delivery of cargo for the
domestic airlines . since 1927.
Shipments essential to the na ■
lion * war production have boosted
traffic volume to the point where
an average of 40 tons of air expresa
a day are handled at present.
Cities and towns not on airline
routes also are afforded the benefit
of air express 3 mile s minute speed
Uy coordinating air and rail ex
press schedules, the 23.000 off air
line offices served by Railway Ex
press are linked to the 350 I’ S
airport cities. The Increasing Im
portance of this combination rail
air express Is evident from figures
for the first six months of this
year, which showed an increase of
34.7 per cent, compared with the
1942 period More than 191.800 ship-
ments were handled In tbe com
blned service.
