Air mail was still rather exotic in the 1940s. In this picture, postal service officials and spectators turned out to witness a Sikorsky helicopter as it landed at the 23rd Street Skyport, January 6, 1947. It was the first shuttle flight carrying air mail from La Guardia Field. Two helicopters made six trips each between the airport and the skyport.
