The Coast Guard Compass, the official blog of the U.S. Coast Guard, recently ran a short post about the history of the Flying Santa program, which dates back to 1929 (the first year of the Great Depression).
Originally serving lighthouse in the New England area (and eventually beyond), the Flying Santa continues to deliver gifts to area Coast Guard shore stations.
