(T.W.A) in 1933 for use on the transcontinental route from New York
to Los Angeles. At the time of its introduction it created an entirely

D.C. 2 monoplanes are now to be found in regular use all over the
world. T.W.A. now operates Trans-continental routes via St. Louis,
Chicago and Kansas City, as well as routes on the West coast. The
