On this day

On July 9, 1918, the first airmail delivery was made.  Katherine Stinson made the delivery from Calgary to Edmonton.  Her Curtiss Special plane had some engine trouble on her first attempt.  The engine got fixed.  Her and the plane went back to Calgary for another attempt and made it.  Made it after 8pm.
