...Delta runs 20 flights daily over 1,584 miles between Savannah, Atlanta, Cincinnati and Dallas. In the nine months ending March, its five Douglas DC-3s (delivered in January) and four Lockheed Electras carried 39,444 passengers, more than 800% above the whole of 1935. Delta's gross from operations was $851,470 in the same period, of which about $50,000 still came from crop-dusting work. But depreciation and personnel-training costs went up so fast the line lost $31,116, first deficit since...
Today the industry has $332,500,000 of unfilled orders for the U. S. and foreign governments, and good-sized commercial orders. Douglas for example last fortnight got orders totaling $3,000,000 for DC-3s from American Airlines, Chicago & Southern Air Lines, and Braniff Airways, recently sold $3,000,000 worth of big DC-4s to United Air Lines. Lockheed has an order for $180,000 worth of commercial planes for Venezuela-possibly a precursor of other big South American orders...
Three years ago American Airlines financed the purchase of some Douglas DC-3s and DSTs largely by equipment trust certificates sold to RFC.

It sold $2,500,000 worth of 4% certificates, maturing semiannually from January 1940 to January 1944, to the hardheaded New York Trust Co., has an option to sell it another $1,000,000 worth...
...ailerons hinge on. This reduces the flow of air through the slot, thus reduces the ability of ice to form at this crucial point. Simultaneously Douglas revealed that the DC2 is the only important U. S. transport requiring this change in design. Boeing 247-Ds, Lockheed Electras, Douglas DC-3s all have aileron designs not susceptible...
...Last summer American Airlines began flying the first of these superb new planes in two models-21-passenger day coaches and sleepers with 14 berths plus a compartment (TIME, Sept. 28). This week United Air Lines inaugurated non-stop service between New York and Chicago with DC-3s outfitted along a new design which makes them the most luxurious in the world. Instead of 21 seats arranged in rigid rows, United installed 14 big swivel chairs, much like those in a Pullman, giving passengers more comfort and room to use such gewgaws as bridge tables, footstools, chessmen magnetized so they...
