Soaring the Skies in the 1920s
Airplanes started out as a relatively new invention in the earl 1920s. However the quickly caught on later in the decade. Airmail began to take flight in 1919 and 1920 when planes travelling started to travel from New York and Washington DC. Since air travel cut down the time from weeks to just a few days, it quickly became popular. Later in the 1920s, as planes became more reliable and well built, passenger planes started to make flights across the US. Today we see airplanes as a normal means of transportation that is almost essential to our everyday lives, while back in the 1920s airplanes were revolutionary.
