THE MAIL MUST GO THROUGH: And speedily so in the case of these airmail sacks being dragged from the door of the U. S. post office at the Willow Run terminal. Oddly enough, airmail is handled by the Railway Mail Service Division of the U. S. Postal Service. Here Marvin Hess of East Detroit hauls a bag of mail into the new radio equipped truck which will carry the letters to Detroit. Two-way communication is important when mail truck is just a few blocks from the field and a late mail plane comes in. Driver can be instructed to return to the terminal and save an extra trip. Ann Arbor mail is picked up by the local post office.
