1930s airmail biplanes touch down in Tumwater for historical commemoration
TUMWATER — For the U.S. Postal Service, it was a flight back in time when three historic Stearman Speedmail biplanes landed at Olympia Regional Airport on Friday.
It was the second to last stop of the open cockpit aircrafts that carried actual mail en route from San Diego to Everett.
The antique aircrafts landed in Tumwater to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the U.S. airmail service. They stopped at the Washington State airport’s Department of Transportation Aviation Division offices, which sponsored the event.
Stearman Speedmail biplane pilot Addison Pemberton says the Mail Centennial Celebration gave the public an education in addition to commemorating the biplanes.
“People don’t realize how significant the post office was in our airspace system we have today,” Pemberton said. “It’s a story no one knows. Hence, the reason for this trip.”
Aviation history buffs got a close-up look at the biplanes once used as mail planes in the early 1930s.
Nearby, postal workers with the Olympia Post Office were selling commemorative stamped envelopes and custom postage cancellation stamping the 2,700 letters the biplanes carried.
The planes are powered by 450 horsepower engines with wood and fabric open-cockpits. They were known for their dependability and ability to carry heavy loads.
Pemberton, of Spokane, says there were only 41 of the planes built, and of those only seven remain.
This historical reenactment honored the first government-operated airmail flight in America. On May 15, 1918, President Woodrow Wilson and members of Congress watched an Army pilot depart in a wood and fabric biplane from Washington, D.C., bound for New York.
The 2018 flight was sponsored by the nonprofit Western Antique Airplane and Automobile Museum of Hood River, Oregon, and endorsed by the U.S. Postal Service.
Besides Pemberton, five other pilots took part in the event with Pemberton and two others — Jeff Hamilton, also from Spokane, and Ben Scott of Reno, Nev. — sworn-in as official airmail pilots.
Pemberton says the airmail service was the first step toward American commercial airline service.
“We wanted the general public to recognize the contributions that the airmail pioneers have made to the airspace and airline system that we have today,” Pemberton said. “All of our current airline carriers have their legacy back as airmail carriers, these contract carriers.”

SUMMARY
=======
Western civilization traces its roots back to Europe and the Mediterranean. It is linked to the Roman Empire and with Medieval Western Christendom which emerged from the Middle Ages to experience such transformative episodes as the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, scientific revolution, and the development of liberal democracy. The civilizations of Classical Greece and Ancient Rome are considered seminal periods in Western history; a few cultural contributions also emerged from the pagan peoples of pre-Christian Europe, such as the Celts and Germans, as well as some significant religious contributions derived from Judaism and Hellenistic Judaism stemming back to Second Temple Judea, Galilee, and the early Jewish diaspora; and some other Middle Eastern influences. Christianity and Roman Catholicism has played a prominent role in the shaping of Western civilization, which throughout most of its history, has been nearly equivalent to Christian culture. (There were Christians outside of the West, such as China, India, Russia, Byzantium and the Middle East). Western civilization has spread to produce the dominant cultures of modern Americas and Oceania, and has had immense global influence in recent centuries in many ways.
Following the 5th century Fall of Rome, Western Europe entered the Middle Ages, during which period the Catholic Church filled the power vacuum left in the West by the fall of the Western Roman Empire, while the Eastern Roman Empire (or Byzantine Empire) endured in the East for centuries, becoming a Hellenic Eastern contrast to the Latin West. By the 12th century, Western Europe was experiencing a flowering of art and learning, propelled by the construction of cathedrals and the establishment of medieval universities. Christian unity was shattered by the Reformation from the 16th century. A merchant class grew out of city states, initially in the Italian peninsula (see Italian city-states), and Europe experienced the Renaissance from the 14th to the 17th century, heralding an age of technological and artistic advance and ushering in the Age of Discovery which saw the rise of such global European Empires as those of Spain and Portugal.
The Industrial Revolution began in Britain in the 18th century. Under the influence of the Enlightenment, the Age of Revolution emerged from the United States and France as part of the transformation of the West into its industrialised, democratised modern form. The lands of North and South America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand became first part of European Empires and then home to new Western nations, while Africa and Asia were largely carved up between Western powers. Laboratories of Western democracy were founded in Britain's colonies in Australasia from the mid-19th centuries, while South America largely created new autocracies. In the 20th century, absolute monarchy disappeared from Europe, and despite episodes of Fascism and Communism, by the close of the century, virtually all of Europe was electing its leaders democratically. Most Western nations were heavily involved in the First and Second World Wars and protracted Cold War. World War II saw Fascism defeated in Europe, and the emergence of the United States and Soviet Union as rival global powers and a new East-West political contrast.
Other than in Russia, the European Empires disintegrated after World War II and civil rights movements and widescale multi-ethnic, multi-faith migrations to Europe, the Americas and Oceania lowered the earlier predominance of ethnic Europeans in Western culture. European nations moved towards greater economic and political co-operation through the European Union. The Cold War ended around 1990 with the collapse of Soviet imposed Communism in Central and Eastern Europe. In the 21st century, the Western World retains significant global economic power and influ ...
