[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 782539, member: 12508"] There were some rudimentary attempts at overnight service in the 30's, but nothing like an "Express Carrier" like FedEx. UPS even tried overnight with planes, but it was much later. The average aircraft in 1933 was good for about 150 knots, could only carry a few hundred pounds of cargo at best, and would take a couple of days to go across the country...if it didn't crash. REA did overnight between certain cities, but they used trains...not planes. [/QUOTE]
