Title
English: Eddie Hubbard and unidentified man in mail plane, Seattle, ca. 1919
Description
English:

Local Seattle pilot and visionary, Eddie Hubbard, saw the value of using aviation to provide faster mail service. After convincing his boss, William Boeing, that people would pay for mail delivered by air, he completed the first international flight delivering mail on March 3, 1919 from Vancouver, British Columbia to Seattle, Washington. Active in many flight activities, he managed to receive a great deal of press coverage as well as continuing to deliver the mail for seven years from Victoria, British Columbia to Seattle, Washington. This photo of Eddie Hubbard (rear) and unidentified man in the mail plane is likely in Seattle from the time period of the first international airmail delivery flight.
