01
Artifact Overview
Navigating in an early airplane -- without the benefit of sophisticated cockpit instruments or radio communication -- wasn't easy. The U.S. Army, in cooperation with the U.S. Post Office, established a network of flyways across the country. These routes were marked with lighted beacons, creating reliable paths that pilots could follow day and night.
