Important c. 1909 photograph of Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock (served 1909-1913) as well as pilot Lieutenant Peck and Attorney General Wickersham. Issued by the International News and stamped on the back with a full paper caption, this is perhaps the earliest known image dealing with airmail known to exist! Condition and quality are both nice for the age.
