Here's why:

Mary and I have been researching the history of the huge, old Boeing/United
Airlines/US Post Office air mail hangar, located just across Rwy 25 from the
Inn here in Iowa City. According to Bill Tinkler, one of our summertime
guests (and a retired United Airlines pilot), this hangar is one of just
seven original air mail hangars still standing in the country.


Jay: Don't forget to try banging on the Boeing and United company
historians for information. Lots of times there is gold buired in
company records. Also dig into the early records where Congress took
the mail away from the Army and gave it back to civilian contractors
after losing way too many Army pilots. I lknow that there has been
considerable info put out on the Wings series and various programs on
DiscoveryWings.
