Only a handful remain in active duty, among them Hamilton Lee and "Bud" Williams Jack Knight and Ray Little. The crop of younger pilots who have taken up the trust of putting through the mail fly under less dangerous conditions than did the pioneers, but the rigorous mail schedule makes mail flying hazardous at best. Ralph Bellamy, Pat O'Brien, Russell Ilopton, Slim Sitnunervillo, Gloria Stuart and Lilian Bond s enact' the, feature roles in "Air Mail," the first screen play to dramatise this little known but romantic flying fleet.
