February 24, 1921

THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, Atlanta, Georgia, February 24, 1921

* 1st transcontinental air mail flight flown
* Airplane
* San Francisco California to New York


This 14 page newspaper has one column headlines on the front page:

* X-COUNTRY MAIL RECORD IS MADE
* San Francisco-to-Hazelhurst, N. Y., Hop Completed in 33 Hours and 20 Minutes

Tells of the very first transcontinental United States mail flight which was from San Francisco CA to New York City.

Other news of the day. Light browning with some spine wear. Should be handled with care.
