"Misty Morning Mail Run"
From a 14" x 20" Mixed Media on Board
 

The air mail pilots were, in the beginning at least, under a "fly or be fired" order from the postmaster Otto Preager. The deskbound official, never having flown, had no idea or obvious concern about what the pilots had to endure. "If I can see the building across the street, it's ok to fly." The aviators went on strike and one pilot took a Post Office official on a mail run that scared the fellow so bad, the rule was changed to give the pilots the right to decide if conditions were good enough to fly.
