The establishment of commercial airmail service was a boon to the aviation industry and the 1928 Boeing 40B, one of two surviving planes of its kind, served as a mail transport plane. It tried to fly as level as possible, which is reflected in its level positioning within the gallery. The Museum of Science and Industry is located in Chicago, Illinois, USA in Jackson Park, in the Hyde Park neighborhood adjacent to Lake Michigan. It is housed in the former Palace of Fine Arts from the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. Initially endowed by Sears, Roebuck and Company president and philanthropist Julius Rosenwald, it first opened in 1933 during the Century of Progress Exposition. It is also the largest science museum in the western hemisphere.
