History of Aviation
        The Postmaster of Dubuque IA established a postal sub-station at Nutwood Park Dubuque IA (July 20-21, 1912). Aviator Charles F Walsh flew from the park about one mile to a point near the Dubuque post office where the mail pouch was dropped from the plane. The mail was then retrieved and brought to the post office. This aviation meet was sponsored by the Dubuque Business Men's Association.
        The Postmaster of Cedar Falls IA established a postal sub-station at the Country Club Golf Course Cedar Falls IA (September 6-7-1912). Aviator Lincoln Beachey flew from the golf course about two miles to the College Hill Park where the mail pouch was dropped from the plane. The mail was then retrieved and brought to the post office by automobile.
        The Postmaster of Des Moines IA unofficially authorized the aerial transport of mail between Des Moines IA and Chicago IL (October 17-20, 1914). Aviator William G Robinson flying an aeroplane designed by the Grinnell Aeroplane Company flew from Des Moines IA landing in Kentland IN after losing his way. The next day he took off heading for Chicago IL but in route experienced mechanical problems causing him to land in Momence IL delaying his arrival at Cicero Airfield Chicago until October 20th.
