List of Airmail Pilots Employed by the Post Office Department

When airmail service began on May 15, 1918, the mail was flown by U.S. Army pilots. That ended when the Post Office Department employed civilian pilots to fly the mail beginning August 12, 1918. In all, the Department hired some 200 pilots through 1925. After 1925, airmail was increasingly flown by private contractors. The final flight piloted by a postal employee began on August 31, 1927; the next day, the last portion of the transcontinental route became a contract route.

The pilots listed below whose names appear in bold, marked with a cross (), lost their lives in the line of duty while working for the Post Office Department. Some of the pilots listed below were later hired by private air carriers and continued to fly the mail under contract.
