Default Cargo Ops Magazine Article

Several years ago I found an excellent magazine article written by someone who jumpseated on a major cargo airline for several weeks and wrote about the operation in some detail. The magazine was not aviation related but something like New Yorker or Harpers. The article may have evolved into a book. In any event, does anyone recall it or know where or when it appeared? I'd love to track down a copy.
Thanks

Default "On Wings of commerce"

The title of the article is "On Wings of Commerce". Harpers, I think. I've got a copy of it somewhere and will get around to finding it in a year or two..

Default Subscription only...

Correction...THUMBNAILS of the 17pp article are on the Harper's website. Otherwise, subscription only.
I hate it when that happens...

I've got a pdf of the article if you still want it. Wasn't able to attach here even though it's only 2MB.
