THE MAIL MUST GO THROUGH: And speedily so in the case of these airmail sacks being dragged from the door of the U. S. post office at the Willow Run terminal. Oddly enough, airmail is handled by the Railway Mail Service Division of the U. S. Postal Service. Here Marvin Hess of East Detroit hauls a bag of mail into the new radio equipped truck which will carry the letters to Detroit. Two-way communication is important when mail truck is just a few blocks from the field and a late mail plane comes in. Driver can be instructed to return to the terminal and save an extra trip. Ann Arbor mail is picked up by the local post office.

PACKAGES FOR ANN ARBOR STORES AND PLANTS: If an Ann Arbor factory or business needs parts or merchandise in a hurry, chances are delivery by air freight will be specified. Then the consignments will arrive by plane at Willow Run via Air Cargo, Inc., and will be transhipped from the cargo handling truck, (left) to a company truck, pictured to the right. The picture above was taken in a section of the huge hanger directly adjacent to the terminal part of the airport and under the same roof. More than 100,000 pounds of freight are handled here daily.
