A close up of a crate being loaded onto an American Airlines plane. The company began mail-only flights between Chicago and St. Louis in 1926, often piloted by Charles Lindbergh himself. In 1944, American Airlines began the first scheduled air cargo service in the world, which also marked the first coast-to-coast all cargo flight.
