March 2012 - Afternoon Mail - William Phillips

Geoffrey de Havilland initially designed the DH-4 as a twin seat bomber which saw
service in WWI. The U.S. Post Office modified the aircraft to be flown from the
rear cockpit and installed a watertight mail compartment in place of the forward
cockpit. DH-4’s were the mainstay of the USPO air fleet until service passed its
last airmail routes to private contractors.


This pilot is enjoying an incredibly good day for flying as he travels up New York’s
Hudson River and over one of the many New York Central Railway trains headed
north to Albany and points beyond. Flying by any standard was a risky profession
in this early era of flight, so to be aloft on a day such as this was a truly
revered experience.
