Title
English: Two women and a Boeing mail plane, ca. 1927
Description
English: Transcontinental airmail service began in 1924. In 1927, Boeing Air Transport, Inc. won the contract to fly mail between Chicago and San Francisco. The lightweight Boeing mail plane was built of fabric-covered wood and metal tubing. Its single pilot sat in an open cockpit. The plane had two mail compartments, one of which could be used for up to two passengers.

This photo, probably taken in 1927, shows two women waving from a Model 40A mail plane in the Boeing factory.
