Photograph of airmail planes at Omaha, Nebraska

from Smithsonian Institution

Colin Howell said:
Nice photo, but there are some problems with the Smithsonian's description and dating. There are no DH-4Bs in this photo; most of the aircraft shown are Douglas, not just the ones on the left. They all share the Douglas's distinctive vertical fin shape, quite different from the DH-4B's, and they are "single-bay" biplanes with one set of interwing struts per side; the DH-4B was a "twin-bay" biplane with two sets of interwing struts on each side. Also, the Douglas planes must be either M-3s or M-4s; the M-2 was only bought by Western Air Express, not by the Post Office. The Boeing 40 belonged to Boeing Air Transport, judging by the logo on the side. (Going by the tail number, it appears to be the one registered as NC285.) These details mean the photo must be a few years later than 1924, because at that time the Douglas and Boeing planes didn't exist. 1927 seems most likely: the Boeing 40 had entered service, but the U.S. Post Office hadn't yet stopped flying the mail itself.

Thank you, Colin! You are correct and we will redo the caption shortly.

NOAA has photos of the March 23, 1913 Omaha cyclone/tornado on www.photolib.noaa.gov/brs/nwind34.htm And Historic Omaha (dead link deleted) has some photos and lots of links related to the event known as the "Easter Tornado." The Historic Omaha site moved; a functioning URL is in my comment below.

Historic Omaha clearly moved. A functioning link is www.historicomaha.com/tornado.htm I'll delete the dead link and point to this one.
