Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
100 years of air
travel: How planes shrunk the globe.
A century ago, the
first commercial flight carried a passenger for the first time in human
history. The honored passenger paid then-$400 ticket fee, which is equivalent to
nearly today’s-$10,000, to travel 40 kilometers in 20 minutes in Florida in the
U.S.A.
The last 100 years
seem to have brought airplane, airliner and travel industries economic prosperity
as well as passengers opportunities to travel far longer distance at far
economical cost.
Enjoy reading the
article and seeing the photos of historical milestone airplanes during the last
century, and also finding which one looks more attracting to you.
