Description

First air express delivery, Leaside Aerodrome. Deliveries are to T. Eaton Co. in Toronto. Fron English-language Wikipedia article: "After the war, the strip became the site of Canada's first delivery of airmail on June 18, 1918 when pilot Brian Peck delivered 120 letters from Montreal. This delivery was initially organised at the behest of some of his friends in Montreal who wanted letters delivered to Toronto; however when Canada Post heard of the plans, they gathered together the letters as a test of an airmail system."
