Beginning in the 1920s as a lowly crop-dusting operation in
Louisiana, Delta Air Lines had, by its fiftieth anniversary, down
to become one of the largest companies in the industry and one of
the most consistently profitable. First published in 1979, this is
a comprehensive account of the growth and development of Delta's
strategy and style, the steady expansion of its routes, its
relationship with federal regulatory agencies, and the everchanging
composition of its fleet. Because the underlying spirit of the
Delta enterprise owed so much to its founder, C.E. Woolman, this is
also an engaging portrait of the man who came to be classed
alongside Eastern's Eddie Rickenbacker and Pan American's Juan
Trippe as a pioneer of commercial aviation.
How did the state step up to the challenges? There has been much
scholarship on how the U.S. as a nation reacted to World War I, but
few have explored how Alabama responded. Did the state follow the
federal government's lead in organizing its resources or did
Alabamians devise their own solutions to unique problems they
faced? How did the state's cultural institutions and government
react? What changes occurred in its economy and way of life? What,
if any, were the long-term consequences in Alabama? The
contributors to this volume address these questions and establish a
base for further investigation of the state during this era.
