Notes:
In 1919 the Aero Service Corporation was charged with violating a 1794 Pennsylvania blue law prohibiting organized sports on Sundays. General manager Jack Howard was arrested, and the company moved to legally change the classification of air travel from “sports” to “transportation,” allowing daily flights. Airplanes like the one seen here were responsible for documenting the changing landscape and urban development.
