Photo Comment

TAT flights met overnight trains from New York at Port Columbus and flew passengers to Oklahoma where they boarded another overnight train to Clovis, New Mexico. There they boarded a flight to Los Angeles. It saved a day over an all rail journey. TWA photo. Photo from: Civil Aviation Historical Society, Melbourne, Australia
