TR YN SPORT YTION OF MAIL

HALF A CENTURY OLD |
LONDON, Nov., 14— Use of ao
•a! mail service in the recent railroad
str*k.» ia (.rent Britian called the at
tention to the fact that transpoit of I
mads by air is close upon a half cen-;
tury old. The first aerial posts on re
■o'il were those conveyed by balloon-?
nit of beleaguered Paris in September
1S70. Ten years later the? British ad ,
penalty conducted a series of tests t*»
ascertain the practicability of utilizing !
aalleons on an extensive scale for tV*!
•arrying of mails but these tests re
-eked in imVng of importance.
India was the scene of the first ex- t
leriment ;n the conveyance of ma'I.
by heavier- li an- ai»• machircs. It con
sisted of the carrying of - r».nnt;
letters by a British pilot in a biplrvi.*
u distance of one mile at AHababad in
1011.
Laic in the same year the same i
pilo* c:»n*i(d the first United Kingdom
aerial p*»t inaugurate*! between Lov
don an Winsor J The first long- *b‘s
tan-e postal flight also occurred in
1 )lj v hen a French aviator carried a
quantity of letters from Issy-les- Mol
neux to Deauville 112 miles.
The world war put the airplane to
the final test as an aid to postal com
munication. In May , 1017, Italy r:
tablished an air post service between
Rome and Turin designed to relieve
•ongestion on state railways cause*I
by the transport of troops and war
material. A seaplane post from Naple-?
to Palermo followed to avoid the sub
marin*' menace, which interrupted the
regular boat service.
The United States created the firs*
regular daily air post connecting New
York. Philadelphia and Washington on
May 15, 1918.
A daily post by air between Vienna
and Kiev. Russia, via Cracow and
Lemberg was maintained by Austria
for six months in 1918, about 1,000
loiters being carried on each flight.
Within the past few months regular
air postal services have sprung up in
France, Morocco, Tunis, Switzerland.
Germany, South Africa, Egypt and In
dia.
'Hie efficiency of the airposts de
veloped during the nine days of the
recent railroadmen’s strike has great
ly popularized the idea with the Rrit
ish pub’ic and officialdom.
