During the 1930's "Depression Years," Bickford's airplane made Thanksgiving and Christmas flights over New England's coastal lighthouses.

Holiday gift packages were dropped from the air to remote families of lighthouse tenders.

This photo was taken in December of 1937 at East Boston (Logan) Airport and shows the crew loading for the next
