The Air Mail Scandal is the name that the American press of the 1930s gave to the results of a meeting (the so-called Spoils Conference) of Postmaster General Walter Folger Brown and the executives of the top airlines, effectively dividing among them the air mail routes, and to the disastrous results of the attempt to correct the scandal by using the U.S. Army Air Corps to fly the mail.
