[QUOTE="White Line, post: 1303637, member: 52233"] The idea of sending any type of correspondence via air would be attributed to the USPS and their air mail service which started in 1911 on a experimental basis and became a regular service of the USPS by 1918, UPS started sending packages on United Airlines flights in 1929 but only did it until 1931, UPS didn't start using the airlines again to ship packages until 1953 and offered a 2 day coast to coast blue label service, the service continued through the 1970s, however Federal Express started doing overnight with their own fleet of aircraft using Dassault Falcons in 1973, UPS at that time still didn't have their own aircraft and really didn't start acquiring their own fleet of cargo aircraft until the early 1980s, UPS Airlines wasn't established until 1988 15 years after Federal Express went into business, USPS air mail service was determined to be obsolete in 1975 two years after Federal Express went into business, the bottom line here is that USPS and UPS did not do in the 30s what Federal Express started doing in 1973 which was overnight delivery service with their own fleet of aircraft and delivery vehicles, hate Fred and FedEx all you want but lets not try to rewrite history doing it, those are the facts.
