Edward Hubbard and William Boeing (right) stand beside the Boeing aircraft in which they flew the first air mail run between Canada and the US. The flight from Vancouver to Seattle was made for the benefit of the Red Cross. The load consisted of 60 pieces of first class mail.
Bill Boeing we know, Edward Hubbard was a Boeing pilot who was awarded the Victoria to Seattle mail route in October 1920.

I believe that's a Boeing Model C and those are two tough hombres flying it. Back when risking your life meant something.
Thanks, I could not identify the plane, the 1916 Model 1 was a float plane, the B-1 was apparently a flying boat. This must have been the third design from the company.
