这 皮特凯恩邮局 were developed by Pitcairn to carry air mail for the U.S. Postal Service. Of simple and robust construction, they also had relatively benign flying characteristics. They were constructed using chrome-moly steel tube and square-section spruce spars with spruce and plywood built-up ribs. The fuselage was faired using wooden formers and covered with fabric. The tail sections were built up from steel tube and fabric-covered. The Pitcairn Mailwing had a ground-adjustable fin and in-flight adjustable tailplane, features not often seen in other aircraft.

皮特凯恩PA-5邮翼是由皮特凯恩飞机公司在1920年代后期设计和制造的单引擎双翼飞机。它主要用于美国的航空邮件服务,以及仓风暴和比赛。Mailwing有一个焊接的钢管机身和覆盖着织物的木制机翼。它由莱特J-5旋风星形发动机提供动力,最高时速为145英里/小时,续航里程为500英里。Mailwing可以在飞行员座位后面的隔间中携带多达500磅的邮件。Mailwing因其可靠性,机动性和性能而受到称赞。它赢得了几次飞行比赛并创造了多项记录,包括 1929 年从纽约到亚特兰大的第一次直飞航班。邮翼也被美国陆军航空队用作联络和观察飞机。大约建造了90个Mailwings,其中一些今天保存在博物馆中。
