| With airlines out of the skies, it's worth remembering the ways they have changed the world for the better. Back in January 1943, it cost just $6 for Franklin D. Roosevelt to fly from Washington, D.C., to Casablanca, Morocco, where he and Winston Churchill decided to impose unconditional surrender conditions on their Axis enemies. On the return trip, the flight crew served caviar and cake to the newly 61-year-old American president while singing “Happy Birthday.” It was the culmination of a heady time for Pan Am, the airline that helped the Allies win the war. |
