Notes

  • The contractor for this route was the Ford Motor Company, operating as Ford Air Transport, using a fleet of six Ford built Stout 2-AT single engine metal skin high wing monoplanes.

  • The USPS issued a 13-cent commemorative Postage Stamp (Scott #1684) on March 19, 1976, honoring the 50th anniversary of U.S. commercial aviation launched with the Contract Air Mail service. The stamp includes an image of the Stout AT-2 used on CAM-6.
