PONY EXPRESS TAKES TO AIR U. S. Mail Planes Start Trips Across Continent With Heavy Loads (United Press Service) Mitchell Field, Mineola, Long island, N. Y., Aug. 21.—The modern pony express takes the air today. Carrying 500 pounds of important luggage, a United States mull plane will leave here on a trip that is expected to terminate safely in San Francisco in 28 hours, currying letters from coast to coast, in the fastest time record. A plane on a similar mission leaves San Francisco almost simultaneously. * The inovation of the post office' department recalls the days of pion Bering when men rode swift steeds in a mad rush to curry the Unit<l States mail across the plains. The pony express rider of old, flung himself off one horse and onto an I 'other at the relay stations, continuing his gallop with hardly a pause for a fresh mount. The pony ex I press rid£r of the sky will make I similar changes. At several station! across the continent the mail plane will descend and its cargo will bn transferred to a fresh plane with a new pilot. No one pilot, or plane will make the entire trip. ' First Stop At Cleveland The first stop will be ’at Cleveland Ohio. Tlie second zone of the trip—from Chicago to Cheyenne—will be flown into the night. Strong beacons of light will mark the path to be follow ed by the mail men of the air. Special emergency landing fields are provided all along the line.
