Giant Concrete Arrows Across America

But back in the 1920s, things were not so easy. The U.S. Postal Service began its Transcontinental Air Mail service in 1920. The very first pilots had to rely on landmarks to navigate their route across the country. The beacons were giant concrete arrows, set into the ground about 10 miles apart. 50-foot towers with powerful rotating gas lights lit up the arrows. The first of these beacons was built in 1924, on the route between Ohio and Wyoming. The pilots were usually former military men. The system of beacons and giant concrete arrows was not in use for long. Many of the arrows still exist to this day. Thinking about what we have today, how has navigation changed?
