Early American Airways promotional film with twin engine Curtiss Condor airplanes showing plane interiors and passengers, airport facilities, pilots and cockpit, map with destinations at that time, chart showing passenger growth from 1928 to 1933.

A look at early airline travel. Things have certainly changed from 80 years ago. Back then the major selling point was a Nurse on hand during the flight to quell the nervous flyer. The Nurse evolved into what we call Cabin Crew today.

Video is here: Fly American! 1933

One of the first things that made me go ... Wow... and, not only that, but it was phrased as "If you like the scene of darkies loading cotton". Classy
