Description: The Post Office Department inaugurated its first regularly scheduled transcontinental flights during day and night on July 1, 1924. The addition of lighted airfields and a path of beacon lights across the country allowed airmail pilots to fly by night as well as during the day. The deHavilland (DH-4B) airplane had been flown by airmail pilot Frank Yager, who had left North Platte, Nebraska, for Omaha at 11:20 p.m. When he reached Omaha, over 3,000 people had crowded the airfield to welcome him. Text on the photograph notes that it was made "by use of field flood lights."
