“On February 2nd, Congress passed the Airmail Act of 1925, which gave civil air transportation its start in the United States. Due to this Act, contracts could be awarded to private contractors for the transportation of airmail. Colonial Air Lines received the first airmail contract, but the honor for being the first in operation goes to Henry Ford, who owned Ford Air Transport!”
