Air cargo

[fireflybob]

What was carried as the first cargo by air on July 14th 1911?

And between which two major airports of the time was the flight carried out?

Thanks for any help

July 4 - First ever commercial cargo to be carried by an aircraft. The General Electric company paid �100 to have a case of electric lamps flown from Shoreham to Hove in England.

P.S. It would be nice if, just once in a while, you acknowledge that you have at least read the responses.
