 ABC Delta Airlines by Geoffrey P. Jones, This book traces the history of Delta Airlines from its humble beginnings in 1925, the year in which its predecessor company, Huff Deland Dusters, came into being as the world's first crop-spraying service. In 1929 the company branched into passenger services, providing a link between Dallas and Jackson, Mississippi. In 1942 service to New Orleans and Miami was initiated. Larger aircraft were added gradually, but it was Delta's takeover of Northeast Airlines in 1972 that completed the airline's transformation into an industry giant. Documenting this and much more, Jones brings to us a thorough account of the history and current operations of a major airline.
