Aviation History: The Golden Age of American Air Travel (Constellation, Stratocruiser, etc..)

A documentary about the history of U.S. early airlines and the history of the beloved Lockheed "Connie" Constellation. Commercial airlines initially struggled to get off the ground, but with help from the government, which awarded airlines contracts to deliver the mail, they soon began to flourish. Despite the Great Depression, air transportation experienced phenomenal growth and change from the late 1920s through the 1930s before U.S. entry into World War II intervened.
