The mail/supplies in the bucket trick goes back farther than that. IIRC the
"bucket trick" was the inspiration for the AC-47 development for holding the fire on the target in a steep banked turn. In addition to the Amazon, the technique was used by missionaries in Borneo, both sometime in the late twenties or early thirties. Oxmoron1 Don't ask me where I read it,but it was a long time ago.
