Order an Image
Eddie Hubbard piloted the Boeing B-I flying boat shown here from 1920 to 1927, flying air mail on the first regularly scheduled international airmail route between Seattle and Victoria, BC. The plane could carry two passengers plus mail and cargo. After seven years of service without losing a single piece of mail, the B-1 was retired from airmail service in 1927.

The plane now hangs on exhibit at the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle.
