The introduction of the airplane in 1903 generated immediate interest in using them for mail transport, and the first official flight took place on 18 February 1911 in Allahabad, India, when Henri Pequet carried 6,500 letters a distance of 13 km. The first aimail flight in the U.S. took place in Albany, Georgia. U.S Army planes began regular airmail flights between New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. in 1918. The site of the first continuously scheduled air mail service is marked by a plaque in West Potomac Park in Washington, D.C. The first nighttime airmail flight was made in 1921 from Omaha, Nebraska to Chicago, by aviator James Knight.
