“Benjamin Franklin established the Postal Service in 1776 when he recognized the importance of what it could accomplish. He declared that a progressive nation requires a good communication system. In the beginning, the Army Air Corp carried the mail for the Post Office. It was generally understood that the Post Office operation would only be temporary. The carrying of mail by air would be passed on to private industry as soon as it was under control and feasible.”
