| Description |
English: Cover flown from Miami, FL, to Boston, MA, on the first day of the "Emergency Army Air Mail" service, February 19, 1934. This cover is signed by Army pilot 2nd Lt. William M. Reid. Less than a month after flying this cover Lt. Reid was involved in a fatal crash of a B-6A Keystone bomber flying the mail north from Miami which crash landed in a thickly wooded area two miles south of the airport at Daytona Beach, FL. Although Reid was not seriously injured one of his two crew members was killed. During WWII, Col. Reid commanded the 92nd Bombardment Group at Alconbury in East Anglia, England. Among his awards were two Silver Stars for gallantry in action flying B-17 bombers in the European theater.
