Description |
English: In March 1919, airplane manufacturer William Boeing and pilot Eddie Hubbard carried a sack of mail from Vancouver to Seattle in Boeing's private seaplane. This demonstration flight was the first known international air mail trip. It took the two men three hours each way, including stops. At the time, it took much longer for the mail to travel between the two cities by ship. Boeing predicted a great future for air mail service. The flight publicized the potential for air mail service as well as the plane itself. This photo shows Eddie Hubbard's plane landing in Lake Union. Handwritten on sleeve: Eddie Hubbard Plane [Joffre]. Caption by MOHAI staff.
