Delta C&S Air Lines?


(Time, January 24, 1955)

For a short time Delta Air Lines was called this, Delta C&S, after it merged with the smaller Chicago and Southern Air Line.

What will its new name be after the planned merger with Northwest?

Delta NW?

Northwest-Delta?

No, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution it will just be called Delta (story here) and Northwest will join Eastern, Western (another airline swallowed by Delta), Braniff, and PanAm in that giant airline graveyard in the sky.
