Date on negative is 5/15/18. From postalmuseum.si.edu/airmail/pilot/pilot_army/pilot_army_c... "After graduating from Columbia and serving in the army, Lieutenant Torrey Webb completed his aviation training at Ellington Field, where he came to Major Fleet's attention. His good record spoke well for him, and Fleet hired him for the airmail service. Webb flew over 3,500 miles as an airmail pilot, spending 45 hours in the air. As did Culver, Webb suffered only one forced landing in his airmail career." See also earlyaviators.com/ewebbtor.htm Notice the map attached to his leg!
