Air Ship Illinois Mail Moving Pick Project Proved Scheme Tested 1928


EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print captures a moment in history when the ambitious Airship Mail Project was tested in Illinois back in 1928. The project aimed to revolutionize mail transportation by picking up mail from a moving train using an airship. However, as the caption suggests, this innovative scheme did not prove to be practicable. In the image, we see the airship hovering above the train tracks, ready to pick up mail and transport it through the skies. This experimental project represents a time when communication and transport technologies were rapidly evolving, with pioneers seeking new ways to improve efficiency and speed. Despite its ultimate lack of success, this photograph serves as a reminder of the bold ideas and experiments that have shaped our modern world. It is a testament to human ingenuity and determination to push boundaries and explore new possibilities. As we look back on this historical moment captured by Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of air travel and communications. While this particular project may not have been successful, it paved the way for future innovations that continue to impact our lives today.
