Default First Commercial Mail Transport Flight was 81 Years Ago Today (4/6)

Eighty-one years ago today, on April 6, 1926, the first official
commercial mail transport flight occurred


I don't believe this date is accurate, since the first
transcontinental air mail flight went through Iowa City fully 5 years
before this, in February 1921.
