Readers in the most remote corners of many countries were used to receiving their capital's newspaper at least one day after its being issued.

It was a great achievement for Swedish readers when in the thirties AB Aerotransport started a postal and cargo service with "huge" airliners, Junkers Ju-52.

The morning Dagens Nyheter could be delivered to a subscriber's door far from Stockholm in the afternoon and read before or after dinner.
