It was on August 27, 1919 that 16 passengers boarded "The Lawson Airliner". They took off from Milwaukee County Airport on a flight to New York City and Washington D.C. That was the beginning of scheduled airline service in America.
No security screens, no baggage charges, no coffee, tea or milk, no sitting on the tarmac waiting for all the other aircraft taking off ahead of you. You just got on the plane and went.
We'll never see that again....unless you can hitch a ride with Oprah.
