The story

What Is The Mail Pilot About?

The premise of The Mail Pilot without spoilers.

Mickey, a mail pilot, is entrusted with a chest of money. He battles rain, snow and Pete, whose plane carries a machine‑gun and harpoon cannon. Pete’s fire strips Mickey’s aircraft of wings and propeller, but he fashions a helicopter blade from a clothes‑drying rack and, when that breaks, replaces the propeller with one from a windmill.
