History 1923 United States Congress funded money for a sequential lighted airway along the Airmails of the United States transcontinental airmail route . The lighted airway was proposed by NACA , and deployed by the Department of Commerce. It was managed by the Bureau of Standards Aeronautical Branch. The first segment built was between Chicago and Cheyenne . It was situated in the middle of the airmail route to enable aircraft to depart from either coast in the daytime, and reach the lighted airway by nightfall. Lighted emergency airfields were also funded along the route every 15 20 miles. Construction pace was fast, and pilots wishing to become airmail pilots were first exposed to the harsh wintertime work with the crews building the first segments of the lighting system. ref cite book Piloting the U.S. air mail flying for Uncle Sam author Lewis Edwin Theiss ref By the end of the year, the public anticipated anchored lighted airways across the Atlantic, pacific, and to China. ref cite journal magazine Popular Mechanics title Lighted Airway over Atlantic Predicted date December 1923 ref 1924 The first nighttime airmail flights start July 1, 1924.
