Check Six – 1942: U.S. Cargo Certificate #1

From the Hawaiian Airlines website
Did you know: Hawaiian Airlines is the first carrier to have operated scheduled U.S. air cargo flights and we still hold the nation’s first cargo service certificate.
In 1942, we dedicated our fleet of three Sikorsky S-43s to carry cargo throughout Hawai‘i. Our service continued through World War II to meet the high demand for the transport of mail, military goods and industrial equipment throughout the Islands.
