This small, flag-shaped label in red, white and blue reads Air Mail, Tomorrow's Mail Today, with American Airlines across its red base, a reminder of the days when sending a letter by air was a selling point in itself. Air mail sits at the very root of American's story: its earliest predecessor, Robertson Aircraft Corporation, began carrying the mail on April 15, 1926, and like many early carriers American earned much of its keep from U.S. Mail contracts as it grew into a passenger airline.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
